I had to jump way ahead in my vacation photos to find something as dramatic as Huka Falls. While this photo of Uluru/Ayers Rock doesn't have quite the unique perspective of Huka Falls (there were bridges over the falls enabling you to see them head on), I think it has a great story, and is dramatic

If one has never seen it, or even heard of it, its hard to imagine what it is, what its like. A giant red rock in the desert outback, or so it seems. I wondered if we would be able to see it as we landed in Ayers Rock ... you could, clearly. There in the middle of a pink plain (pink from the red rock dust) was an enormous rock, 6 miles around the base. Its compelling. You want to look at it, trying to understand it, but you cant. You can only experience its power, its beauty, its life, how its color and texture changes with the changing light and rising and setting sun. Ill never forget Ayers Rock, known as Uluru to the native people. Remember waiting in the sunset viewing area, swatting away the flies, seeing the color change, thinking, thats nice, thats different. Then the sun went behind the clouds on the horizon and we though it was over. But just as we thought of leaving, the sun poked back out and turned the rock into glowing red velvet. It only lasted a minute, yet the memory of it will last a lifetime.
