The road begins at the bottom of the frame and narrows relentlessly towards a single point on the horizon.
There is almost nothing to interrupt it.
The black surface, broken white centre line and pale edges create a strong geometry through an otherwise open, almost featureless landscape near Coober Pedy. In black and white, the scene is reduced further—to road, earth, sky and distance.
On a long drive through the interior these straight roads can become repetitive. Yet occasionally that repetition becomes the picture.
The road doesn't simply cross the landscape here. For a moment, it is the landscape.
