You don't have to go far in Western Australia's north to find stunning natural beauty.
Just ask Karratha photographer Gavin Canning, who often just points his lenses toward the sunburnt hills and red dust plains visible from his backyard.
While Perth and the South West of the state have been shivering through weeks of cold weather and battening down the hatches for storms, people up in the Pilbara have at least had some bright sun to cheer their days.
Never one to miss a photo opportunity, Mr Canning took a series of images capturing the glory of sunsets over Karratha, with one image taken on the outskirts of the town where bright purple Mulla Mulla wildflowers are blooming.

For the second image, Mr Canning went a bit further afield to the Baynton Hills.
"This panoramic image was taken at sundown looking out from the hills surrounding Karratha," Mr Canning said.
"With the deep red rocks in the foreground and the vast open plains this image sums up the beautiful Pilbara landsape."
Mr Canning's images from around the Pilbara have featured in the gallery of the Karratha Visitors Centre and are a regular in the local newspaper.
