AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Tree Trunk Patterns and Textures


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Gum trees lining the driveway at Stillwater Crittendon Estate winery in Dromana. Mornington Peninsula
A variety of patterns and textures in the shedding bark!
I am always fascinated by the huge range of features in the trunk of gum trees!

Am having a Sleepless in Seattle night and just say your comment...it is a little after 4AM here I just love trees like this with the unusual bark colorations. This is such a special shot...beautiful colours all mixed in together. Thanks for brightening up my long, wakeful night. TGIF!

Those tree trunks have such an interesting shape - very unlike our trees here in Sweden.
I hope you're having a great weekend1
