FoR natural architecture

nature knows how to build in the most fascinating ways - consider a large gum tree

[Mags]

A very lovely composition.

[Joanne Diochon]

Very interesting how it opens out from a low centre. Do most of the gum trees have that shape?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@gardencat not all do at all, I've always loved the shape of the structure of this one

[Corinne C]

Beautiful. I like how it is in the foreground and all the seemingly smaller trees are in the background.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wonderful texture

[Lou Ann]

It’s lovely.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely composition !

[Bill]

Nice black and white. It looks like the trees have been planted in a pattern.

[Babs]

Love the textures on the tree bark.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@cwbill ah yes, the small trees behind this have been planted in rows as that is the plantation where we cut leaf to feed the koalas in hospital. the big tree in front is an old tree and very popular with the wild koalas :)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@corinnec yes, that foreground tree is a good 80 years old I would guess while the ones in the background are only about 7 or 8 years old and are cut regularly to feed the koalas in hospital - quite a contrast!

[LManning (Laura)]

That’s a striking old beauty.

[winghong_ho]

Beautiful capture.

[Danette Thompson]

Interesting. Almost looks like a hand.

[Paula Fontanini]

What an interesting old tree trunk, great shape and bark textures!

[Diana]

You found the perfect tree for this wonderful shot, lovely shape and textures.

[Rob Z]

Lovely for the b&w month

Works well in monochrome.
