Super find and shot ! - Such a big and unusual shape , love how the mid day sun plays on it and highlights its texture and rich colour ! fab and a fav !
I like the warm autumnal tones of this image. I had to look up these termites and scanned the info quickly. I found it interesting that these nests are wider across the east-west axis than the north-south and this protects them from the hot summer sun and keeps them warm in the winter. Who knew insects were so evolved.
