It is something quite special to see Uluru and Kata Tjuta (aka Ayers Rock and the Olgas) lined up at sunset. If you are not familiar with the area you might think there is too much red in this shot; but that’s just how it is. Red rocks, red earth, and red dust in the sky.
This shot was taken from a charted doors off helicopter at sunset. Uluru and Kata Tjuta are commercially restricted areas for photography and this image was taken under permit and subsequently approved by the traditional Aboriginal owners, known as Anangu.
Uluru has a circumference of 9.4 km (5.8 miles) and stands 348 m (1,142 ft) high above the surrounding plain. At its peak it sits at 863 m (2,831 ft) above sea level with most of its bulk thought to be underground. The peaks of Kuta Tjuta in the foreground sit just a little higher at 1066m (3,497 ft) and rise 546 m (1,791 ft) above the plain. Northern Territory, Australia.
