A stunning photograph has captured a thick fog blanketing the top of Uluru in the penultimate week of the Northern Territory's dry season.
The photograph was captured from the base of Uluru by Warren Brown, but the phenomenon is not the first of its kind.
Bureau of Meteorology Northern Territory senior forecaster, Gabriel Dranescu, said the unexpected rain activity and high humidity was the cause of the low hanging clouds.
"A low deck of cloud was sitting 2400 to 3500 feet above the rock," he said.
"If you were to climb the rock, you'd be in the cloud."
And 32 kilometre per hour winds on Thursday morning caused the cloud to shift, creating the impressive scene, captured in the image.
Similar photographs appeared in late August of a fog blanketing the East MacDonnell Ranges, and images of water cascading down the face of Uluru went viral.
Most rainfall in Alice Springs typically happens between December and February, and it is known for its unpredictability.
The Bureau of Meteorology has told Alice Springs residents to expect more rain activity later this week.
