“Nothing can prepare you for the enormousness of the crevasses and gorges in Karijini, a vast wilderness area in the Hamersley Range in the state’s remote north. Standing alone on the edge of the gorge, I felt awed by the power of nature and humbled by how very small I am in the scheme of things.
“This image was taken just as the sun dipped below the horizon, leaving the stepped rocks glowing with colour after a hot day under a cloudless sky. The silence was deafening, until a chorus of frogs struck up as I was shooting.”
