20. Forests
Australia is covered in eucalyptus forests but they are not all the same. The trees have different shapes and sizes, different colours and textures. These Snow Gums in the mist are typical of high mountain places.
I find the muted greens particularly appealing in this shot. The dampness of the day also helped lift the colour at the same time as contrasting because of the dull sky.
In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town. On another wayfaring trip we visited the radio telescope at Parkes but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.
A magic pic. Great composition, colour and texture.

DeleteIt IS a beauty of a shot.
ReplyDeleteOf another world.
I find mist does create other worlds.
DeleteI am smelling this one with my eyes ...
ReplyDeleteFor me this type of forest doesn't have much of a fragrance at least not a cold wet day. A warm wet day would be different.
