Nice capture of a striking landscape that seems very orderly and peaceful in a dry sort of way. Colors are striking. -tv

Am, Yvonne, Rod, Penny - thank you for your comments. You may not believe me but if I slightly boost colors here then only to get what I have seen with my eyes!
I shoot this in Pinnacles Dessert (Western Australia) by sunset. It was a cloudy day and I waited around an hour in a hope that sun appears before to sink in Ocean. A wonder happened - the pinnacles - a heads only - were lighted by the deep sun. It was not long - just a few seconds. I shot this from hand - my tripod was broken on the second (!) day of my travel - and the quality of the picture is not the best - but the final result after PP is very close to what I have seen!

The pinnacles in Bryce Canyon, Utah are very different from this. Sandstone makes lovely shapes. Penny Street

You would think by the colours that this is lit from an early or late sun but there's no shadows so it seems the saturation whang bar has bin forced off the scale. Methinks you have whanged too much but we forgive you:-)

Wow! What a landscape. I really love seeing the shots from other lands and far away places, this looks like it could be Mars. :) Yvonne

This has an interesting finish. The lighting is so good it looks artificial. -COAmature
