TAKE ME THERE

NAWURLANDJA LOOKOUT

Kakadu, Australia, by Emilie Ristevski

After many months of travel restrictions, Australian photographer Emilie Ristevski is feeling nostalgic for the magic of Kakadu National Park. “Once your feet have wandered through this red earth, the feeling will stay with you forever,” says the creative mind behind @helloemilie. This image was captured as the sun went down over Burrungkuy and the Arnhem Land escarpment at the Nawurlandja Lookout. “In this moment the sky filled with beautiful warm, earthy tones and slowly disappeared, features images from the furthest corners of the globe. Her experiences in Indigenous Australia’s spiritual heartland are among the most affecting, “I’ve always been fascinated by the Dreamtime stories connected to this land. I feel there is so much we can learn from a living culture that has connected and lived on our harsh but beautiful land for so many thousands of years.”
