Pilbara Gems: Python Pool Extended into Infiinity

A few weekends ago we ventured beyond the cliff face of Python Pool to the pools above. We were aided by the fact a bushfire went through recently, taking with it the spinafex, allowing us to walk relatively smoothly over red rocks. We climbed down, and the pools coupled with the view was spectacular!

Given that it was nearly midday - why is it always nearly midday!! - the photo opportunities were low. I attempted a HDR to expose the reflection in the pool as well as the view. It did not work out well - I didn't have enough exposures to make it worthwhile - so I had to content myself with editing one exposure in RAW by lightening the shadows and darkening the lights. The result is not great quality, it appears a little washed out, but hopefully it gives you a sense of being there.

The still water created a reflection that was pretty spectacular.
