After an almost 10 hour drive from the Bungle Bungles (http://www.mikesalway.com.au/tag/bungle-bungles) trying to reach Home Valley Station before dark, we spotted an open area with a few scattered Boab trees nicely positioned with the magnificent Cockburn Range as a backdrop.

We pulled the truck off the road and spent about 30 minutes photographing this beautiful area. I climbed up an embankment to get a more elevated view and captured this 10 image panorama which I’ve called “Guardian of the Valley” – the Boab tree looks like its standing guard with the beautiful mountain range in the background.

Well worth looking at the large view.

Thanks for looking!
