Manna From Heaven

In January 2011 the largest cyclone ever Cyclone Yasi hit the North Eastern Australian coastline
and in it's path it completely destroyed our Banana crops...since then we have been paying obscene prices per kilo and now 11 months later though not as low as normal, prices are coming down
so for those who have waited all that time this food really is manna from heaven...might add even the Possums were so desperate this year they ate ours off the tree in the back yard through the plastic protection :(

The professional image as an advertisement, though it's pity of the description, Laine, you made the great job! BV

LOL... we had a bad banana year too... ours was due to the unusual freezing weather last winter. This is a fantastic photo, the color is excellent! V

Mellow yellow, mmm.
Yesterday I bought my first bunch of bananas since Cyclone Yasi. The price has dropped from $15 a Kilo to $7-99 k.

Amazing macro. Love the color and depth of field. It's always hardest on the wildlife when their habitat is disturbed.

You have banana trees in your yard?
Lovely shot of one of my favorite fruits! :)

Prices that go up never come back down to normal. Lovely colour and dof.
