This image depicts a pair of emu footprints crossing a salt lake in Western Australia. You can observe the loss of definition in the tracks and the emus crossed a softer section of a lake, revealing the dark mud below the salty crust. While drone photography has enabled us to capture landscapes using newer technology, it is important to acknowledge that this perspective has been documented by Aboriginal people for thousands of years.
