Jennifer Martin, Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre) - Golden Hour Abstracts (AERIAL 2022)

I captured these images from a tiny doorless plane 1500 feet above Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre) in South Australia. We were losing light, but I asked the pilot to do one more orbit before heading back to William Creek. For about five minutes, the setting sun illuminated the water in the tributaries, turning it glimmering gold and highlighting the contrast with the textured salt-crusted lakebed.
