Flooded gum

Technically it is a gum tree and it is flooded but I have no idea whether it is an actual 'flooded gum'. I really must make the effort to learn some of these amazing trees.
Taken at a lunch stop on the Hay plains on our journey.

must be a special gum - thought they liked the Dry!

@maggiemae Maggie its a big country, we have all sorts!

[Beryl Lloyd]

What a great strong twisted trunk , and flowing feathery foliage - it doesn't seem to mind standing in water !

[Carole Sandford]

It’s very dramatic! Nice reflections too.

[Dione Giorgio]

Very dramatic image. I'm sure it will be ok if humans do not meddle with it or its environment. Some nice references here.

[Babs]

It does seem to be surviving well in the water.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Beautiful, nature is interesting.

[Bucktree]

Fantastic looking tree.

My iPhone says it is “ Eucalyptus viminalis,
commonly known as
the manna gum, white
gum or ribbon gum, is a
species of small to very
tall tree that is endemic
to south-eastern
Australia.”
But my iPhone didn’t take the beautiful photograph so what does it know!!

[Wylie]

@johnfalconer thanks John, a perfectly viable suggestion! I think I will invest in a Eucalyptus id app!

Lovely and magical looking shot.

[Kathy]

A lovely photo. Reminds me of the swampy areas east and south of where I live near the coast).

[Diana]

A fabulous capture with lovely reflections and tones. You seem to find so many beautiful trees.

[Shutterbug]

Whatever it’s called, it is a beautiful tree. Nice capture of the textures and interesting shapes of the branches.

Almost certainly a River Red Gum or Eucalyptus camaldulensis.

I knew the Finke Desert Race was on and logged in to check on you and Wylie 2 a couple of days ago but couldn't see any postings from you at all. These postings must have all come in afterwards
