Over hanging branch...

Another shot of our (NZ) beautiful Pohutukawa tree ( Metrosideros Excelsa) that is known as The New Zealand Christmas Tree .. one for the fact that is flowers in December and also because of the red and green christmas colours.. Mostly grow in coastal area's in the North Island.. I like how this branch was isolated and just had the backdrop of the distant hills behind..
