Sunset over Uluru

The classic thing that everyone has to do when they go to Uluru (Ayers Rock) is to watch the sunset over the rock. There's even a special viewing area (from where the photos below were taken). Everyone parks their cars there and sets up their cameras. The change in colour as the sun sinks is incredible, with most changes being most noticeable over the last 5 or 10 minutes before the sun drops below the horizon.

The series of photos below were taken over about half an hour up to sunset. Click on each small photo to get the full size version.
