Sue O'Connor, West McDonnell Ranges waterholes (LANDSCAPE 2025)

At sunrise, waterholes in the outback of Australia transform into tranquil, almost sacred space. The sky begins to shift from inky blue to soft hues of pink, peach, and lavender, casting a delicate blush across the rugged red earth. The waterhole itself is often a quiet, reflective pool mirroring the pastel skies above.
