Now that's a beautiful tree, wonderfully contrasted against that blue sky. I'd love to see it in person.

This is simply beautiful. I really think Bill Bryson book did not do Australia justice.
Wonderful shot!

Nice looking tree. The branches seem to make some strange twists and turns which ads character. The shadows along the branches are a nice touch and the orange against the blue sky is really nice.
