Hilary Williams, Remote Beauty: The Spirit of the Land (LANDSCAPE 2025)

This image captures the raw beauty of the Australian outback near Coober Pedy. The vast, rugged landscape stretches endlessly beneath a moody sky, with earthy reds and ochres blending into the horizon. Sparse vegetation clings to the arid ground, while a twisted tree frames the scene, adding depth to the emptiness beyond. Harsh yet breathtaking, this landscape tells the story of the outback—isolated, resilient, and full of character.
