Flagstaff Gardens

This afternoon was totally overcast. Some might say ideal light. I stopped on La Trobe Street at the titled gardens. With a 12 mm ultra wide angle lens, I like this view of the slope up to the gardens and the way the tree branches seem to interact visually. The wrap around the tree trunks is a deterrent for possums that damage the trees.

Thanks for your view, comments and favs for "Portside View". Much appreciated.

Grateful for all blessings.

Love this capture! With the trees "half-dressed "the bare branches and the scattering of fallen leaves - just reminds me you are approaching winter "down-under" fav

Beautiful capture of this lovely scene. Lovely see some trees still have leaves, such a nice colour palette.

[Sam Palmer]

Lovely view. You are autumnal and we are on the longest day today.

[Lou Ann]

Lovely winter scene.

A lovely view of the semi clad trees and scattering of fallen leaves.

Lovely wide angle shot.

Always fascinating to see how the vigorous tree growth prevents the grass growth beneath. Like an extra shadow in a way.

Seems strange to see an Autumn shot this time of year ~ our trees just turned green.

[Paula Fontanini]

I love the wide angle view! It gives a great sense of the changing of the seasons with the muted colors & fallen leaves.

A lovely autumnal scene

[Kerry McCarthy]

Very nice. Are the trees wrapped to prevent some sort of insect infestation?

[Joan Robillard]

Nice

[Mags]

It is a visually delightful capture!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

why are the trees collared?

[Pat Knowles]

This is a very pretty park……we can see all the trees loosing their leaves…..soon be proper winter.

Nice capture. I like overcast light. I don’t have to fight the shadows.

It’s a beautiful catch of the feeling of autumn and things winding down
