Old Ruins, Outback, South Australia, Australia
The Australian outback contains an assortment of quirky pubs, old ruins, fascinating characters, enduring landscapes and endless yarns. It evokes a spirit of exploration and freedom with its wide open spaces and ever changing skies. With these old ruins before me and the approaching storm about to bear down on me, it was hard not to reflect on the pioneering spirit of the early European settlers in the often harsh Australian outback. In those early days the outback remained largely unknown to the first settlers.
It had been an afternoon of completely wild weather with massive downpours followed by calm breaks. I was sure something special would happen at sunset. This storm front created the opportunity to capture some of the settler history of the outback while also conveying the hardship the early settlers had to endure.

Our acrylic desk blocks give the photo a three dimensional look. They are perfect for desks, bookshelves, mantlepieces, bed side tables - any horizontal surface.
The photo is printed on professional grade metallic photographic paper, using archival inks. It is then mounted on the back of an acrylic (plexiglass) block. It is finished with diamond polishing, buffing and final hand polish.
They are free standing, so no hanging system is required. These are a very popular option for gifts, farewell presents or if you need a small lightweight option to travel with. Acrylic desk blocks come in a box ready to gift.
