Boab in Twilight

It was our second day staying at Home Valley Station, and after visiting a very dry Bindoola Falls, we went off the beaten track to a valley our guide called “New York Valley”. The road into the valley caused a bit of a struggle for our 4WD Truck, so we could tell this wasn’t your usual tourist destination.

Once into the valley, we drove for 5-10 minutes until we came to a patch of Boab trees, where we spent the rest of the afternoon photographing them from almost every conceivable angle.

These were the last 2 shots taken from the session; definitely a bit cliche with the Boab in Twilight, but who could resist I would’ve liked to wait until deep twilight (and even night!) but the road was so treacherous that Cheryl was keen to get out of their while there still a small amount of light left. It’s a location I would LOVE to do some nightscapes and timelapses from one day.

Thanks for looking.

Such unique trees. Wonderfully photographed Mike.
Boabs always remind me of "The Little Prince".

Wonderful iconic images Mike!

I love the first one the most with its postcard landscape orientation.

They are amazing trees, You have to travel quite a way even further west and across the
ocean before you spot any again.

Thanks guys. I loved seeing the Boab's - definitely a unique looking tree.

I've always wanted to produce a photograph like this, so I'm glad I finally had the opportunity.
