The Rainbow City, so named due to its rainbow coloured landscape. In the middle of the remote desert area we left the highway on a dirt track for some 10 miles before arriving at the Rainbow city.
The Rainbow City is a photographers playground. A true cornucopia of photographic opportunities. It’s rich mineral content of iron and rhyolite combined with thousands of years of constant wind erosion and the occasional rain fall has seen the formation of mounds, valleys and gulleys giving it distinct layers of colour. The structures, lines and colours can only be described as truly phenomenal.
We climbed up and over and back down various mounds to find the most pleasing compositions and before we knew it, it was time to go.
I’ll definitely be revisiting the Rainbow City. Its a truly amazing landscape that one could truly spend days exploring and not struggle to continue to find compositions.
