@Paula
Thanks for moving this post Paula but, I think a lot of us are ignorant of the beauty all over the world. We are all too bound down in vehicles being torched, riots, stabbings, school shootings to step back and look at what is truly beautiful around us.
Just before I step back can I show you something awe-inspiring!
It isn’t just the coastal areas of Australia that are beautiful, the outback can be just as stunning!
Australia has a big rock…..in fact I think it is the biggest rock in the world, Uluru, Ayers Rock. It is actually a single rock, not an escarpment feature in the landscape. Its composition is entirely different from the terrain around it, how it got there God only knows but, it is massive. To give you an idea of its size, it is 10Kms (6 miles) around its base. It takes roughly 3.5 hours simply to walk around its base and it is taller than the Eiffel Tower!
Here it is at sunrise……
Here it is at the 'Sounds of Silence dinner'.......
And here it is after sunset........
One of those moments you remember for the rest of your life!
Cheers........Rob
