By gum!

We were down near Raglan today (west coast, North Island, NZ). I wanted to get some photos of the wind farm turbines up in the hills. As we got closer to the turbines, I spotted these lovely gum trees in the afternoon light. They were way more interesting - and if you look really closely, you can actually see some turbines on the hills (on the right) in the distance.
Beautiful...processed? Looks great ...

@ourrube a very small amount of processing, just to make the colours a tiny bit brighter - nothing much really.
