Sunrise NO. 3 - Keep River NP

Sunrise at Keep River National Park, right on th Northern Territory/Western Australia border, in July 2003. This national park seems to be a closely guarded secret, as it is still not widely know. If I had turned around, I'd be showing you the brilliant orange/red of the hills behind our campsite, but today I prefer this distant view of the sun's first glimpse as it shows itself from behind soft mauve hills. Light hasn't struck the tips of the spear grasses yet, but soon they would be glowing bleached gold, and the cushions of spinex, pale green.
