Anna Creek Painted Hills Outstanding Beauty
A rocky outcrop of large and small hills, which emerge suddenly out of a flat, desert landscape. The hills are approximately 20 kilometres x 18 kilometres in size. It is believed that the Anna Creek Painted Hills are the leftover effects of 50 million years of climate change, with the climate going from glacial to wet and semi-tropical over million of years.
The changing colours of the hills are believed to be a result of oxidisation. The deep red is due to the oxidation of iron in the rocks, while the white sections are where iron has leached away

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the Anna Creek Painted Hills in all their outstanding beauty. A mesmerizing sight, these rocky outcrops emerge abruptly from a flat and barren desert landscape, creating a striking contrast that is hard to ignore. Spanning an impressive 20 kilometers by 18 kilometers, these hills are believed to be remnants of millions of years of climate change. The ever-changing colors of the Anna Creek Painted Hills add to their allure. The deep red hues result from the oxidation of iron within the rocks, while the white sections showcase where iron has leached away over time. This natural process gives rise to a stunning display that captivates any observer. Located in South Australia's remote outback region, this aerial view offers a unique perspective on nature's wonders. With no signs of human presence in sight, it highlights the untouched beauty found within our planet's most extreme terrains. Southern Lightscapes-Australia has masterfully captured this scene through their lens, showcasing not only nature's grandeur but also its ability to transform over millions of years.
