Hiking Ayer's Rock (Uluru)

Good use of areas and contrasting colors. Thopse clouds are amazing. I'd like to see more detail in the rock. There is texture in the rock surface but it doesn't really come out in the FG area... The chain makes a good lead-in.

Thanks sander! It would be nice to have a bit more rock detail though - you're right.

It looks like another planet, where is it? Any pictures that show what you see when you get to the top?

It's Ayer's Rock (Uluru) in Northern Territory Australia. Here's a picture of the whole thing:

Kinda looks similar to the climb up Half Dome in Yosemite NP _ nice job and great sky.

Thanks Bluedog

Thanks for the comments! Yes the chain is to stop people falling - it is actually much steeper than the photo makes out, with severe drops either side.

Carzee - make the trip - it's defineately worth it!

I believe that there has been at least forty people killed from falling down.

Interesting shots!

Great shot, it's nice to see a different view of Uluru instead of the standard one everyone takes.

LOL @ all the Yanks asking what Ayers Rock/Uluru is and where it is...

Yep.

Thats a cool shot. You picked a good cloud day.

THanks matt and fried!
