Australian Tree Trunk Photo No. 1, "Dust Storm Over Outback River Valley"
(Click image to enlarge)
I always find the trunks of eucalyptus trees interesting because they are so
different from those I usually see in the the United States. I decided to
photograph a few of the trunks up close as abstracts. This is the first in the
series.
This tree is a River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis). It
is one of about 800 species within the genus Eucalyptus. This photograph was
captured in a vertical format and then turned on its side to resemble a
landscape painting. This particular tree was found in New South Wales.
