Anything but a black stump

There's an old saying here in Oz - beyond the black stump. But this stump is rather more colourful than that, and partly due to the red termite casing and partly due to the golden hour sunshine.

The swirl on that trunk is so interesting- and of course, a termite colony- really makes it fascinating to look at.
