The Flinders Ranges is harder to shoot than many people think - if you want something really special. It's a beautiful area, but often the more spectacular an area is, the more care you need to take not to be seduced by the obvious. I believe you have to spend time in this area to fully unlock its treasures. Yes, sometimes you can get lucky, but I find the more time you put into a location, the luckier you get. I spent days here looking for something which would provide strong foreground interest, to help give depth to the landscape image. When I found this grass tree, I immediately knew I had a strong element for my shot. The tree reminds me of a menorah with seven candle holders. Having found my foreground, I spent days waiting for the right light and weather conditions. On this special day I had my moment of golden light.
