Writing posts forwards and backwards in time, I realized that Vilis captured far more exquisite photos on our trip to the Alice Springs area than I can possibly include in the post dates corresponding to that trip. So, today’s post is a collection of more heart-stirring images from Australia’s Red Centre. Enjoy.
