Kings Canyon, Watarrka National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
Given the popularity of Kings Canyon with tourists and the crowds enjoying the rim walk around the top of the canyon it can, at times be difficult to fully appreciate. I feel greater connection in the quiet solitude away from the tourists, preferring to experience a more private audience with an ancient land on my own terms. On this occasion, having taken my time enjoying the rim walk earlier in the day, I walked up high above the canyon and waited for the last of the tourists to depart from the carpark below. Standing alone as the sun set over the canyon, the colours were ever changing. I had the opportunity to soak in the peace and reflect on the truly ancient landscape that is outback Australia. Being in the middle of a vast spectacular landscape, alone, without other distractions, it was hard not feel more connected to the landscape surrounding me. Then, well after the sun had set, the afterglow created a stunning red glow on the rocks around me. I knew this was the time to capture a photograph to convey the natural beauty of this place. I hope through this photograph you can experience some of the feeling of the outback solitude I had while taking this photo.
The enchanting Kings Canyon is one of Australia’s natural treasures. It is a place where the unspoiled bush and red rock canyons in the heart of the Watarrka National Park create an unforgettable outback experience. Formed around the beautiful gum tree lined Kings Creek, Kings Canyon is truly a majestic destination featuring high sandstone walls, spectacular rock formations and views that stretch across the desert. The popular rim walk allows you to marvel at the magnificent views of the canyon rim, the weathered domes of ‘The Lost City’ and the green oasis of the ‘Garden of Eden’.

FRAMED PRINT
This clean, simple and modern look will suit any home. Your Hahnemühle fine art paper print is mounted and framed in a contemporary shadow box frame (approx 27mm wide x 48mm deep) that is available in white or raw wood. It is completed with museum grade acrylic (rather than glass) as it is light weight, transports well (doesn't break), and protects against 99% of UV. Framed prints come ready to hang on your wall. The listed size is for the print itself - the border and frame add approx 7.5cm to each side of the print (ie 15cm additional length in total).
ACRYLIC - WALL MOUNT
This frameless, glass like feel is one of the most impressive and striking ways to display your print. Printed on a professional metallic paper, creates a 'pearlescent' metallic gloss finish. The print is then face-mounted onto optically clear, museum grade acrylic which offers 99% UV protection. The crisp, clean image is then backed with treated aluminium, protecting your print from front to back. It is then finished with a diamond edge polisher. This comes ready to hang, with a thin aluminium frame hidden behind the print, so your print can be securely hung on your wall.
ACRYLIC - DESK BLOCK
Acrylic desk blocks give the print a three dimensional look and make excellent gifts. They are perfect for desks, bookshelves, and mantelpieces. These are 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 a final hand polish. Since they are free-standing, no hanging system is required.
