dawn on namatjira drive

Posted on August 27, 2015 by wongswyn

A wide-angle landscape photograph of the Larapinta Range against a dramatic and cloudy sunrise sky. The sky is filled with streaks of gold and blue, with ominous clouds gathering overhead. The image was taken from Namatjira Drive.

namatjira drove himself to death
from regret and blame
from painting trees as trees
and dawns as dawns
from drinking in spirits that others
could not hold down
