Robert Wengritzky, Darwin Sunsets (PLACES WILDERNESS 2024)

As the sun dips below the horizon, the silhouette of a lone tree stands against a backdrop of fiery orange, while birds take flight in the golden glow of dusk. The tree’s sprawling branches create a dramatic contrast with the vibrant sky, casting a sense of calm and wonder over the scene. Captured in the heart of Darwin’s wilderness, this image embodies the serene beauty of nature as day transitions into night, where the quiet resilience of the landscape is illuminated by the setting sun’s final burst of light
