Isn't it incredible how much your point of view makes a difference to what you see?
On ground level all I would have seen would be red sand and mulga trees scattered throughout the spinifex grass. Instead when I looked down on it from above I saw so much more.
Look at that texture. That depth. The shadows stretching out in the setting afternoon sun. What looks like a river but is actually just a ridge tracing it's way through this incredible landscape .
When I look at this I see the true essence of Australia - the one you see in traditional Aboriginal art used to capture the spirit and stories of this amazing land.
That's not to say I wouldn't have experienced that emotion standing on the ground (because I did), but seeing it from up here, from a fresh point of view, was an incredible experience.
There really is no place like it.
