Spinifex near Kata Tjuka

When viewed from above,
the spinifex
forms a circle as the
centre dies and the grass
moves further out.

looking again, Elaine,
l'm enjoying this unusual and brilliant image even more
than the first time. Excellent !

Thanks so much, Peter and Michael,
The yellow of the grass contrasts with the
red dirt and the dead grass.
Who says the desert is "dead".
We do call Uluru "The Dead Centre of Australia".

Dear Hal,
Thanks for your comments.
I loved visiting Uluru.
We went about six years ago.
