## Caption

Comme une griffure dans le paysage 🫳, qui a attiré mon oeil dans les couleurs du soleil couchant sur l’Australie. Ici les Kata Tjuta/monts Olga, ou simplement les Olgas, constituent un massif de dômes d'arkoses (roches ayant l’aspect du granit) en buttes isolées que l’on nomme des inselbergs ⛰. Ceux-ci se situent dans le parc national d'Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa 🗺, à 365 km au sud-ouest d'Alice Springs 🇦🇺.

🌏Our planet has many different faces, and surprises us here with the picture of an awe-inspiring wilderness 😮: Kata Tjuta in #Australia 🇦🇺. These maroon stone formations 🦘 have been a national park since 1958. In 1985, the Australian government returned them to the Anangu aboriginal population, and in 1987, unesco labeled the area a World Heritage Site 🙌. Even from space, there is a sacred atmosphere around this place✨
