Spa Pool in Hamersley Gorge (Minhthukundi) is a waterfall that sort of invites photographers to have a field day in photoshop and 'brighten' the colours of the water and the amazing red-and-blue rock walls. I do enjoy those photos... but part of me feels that a place as beautiful as this also deserves to be shown in its 'real' colours - it is so beautiful as it is. So this photo might not be as speccy as what you'll see if you do a search in Google Images for "spa pool karijini"... but sometimes I think a place should be able to 'speak for itself' occasionally...
If you haven't seen it before, it's a place that catches the sun early and loses the sun late, so if you want the best chance to photograph it, you sort of need to get there before sunrise or stay until after sunset. I went in with a torch before sunrise for two mornings in a row and spent some peaceful hours there...
