Description

Thank you for your visits and very interesting comments on Cream topping. The hill was for real and is found as you leave the Oliviershoekpass on the Harrismith side. The green lane is a fire-break running across. The grass was burnt early in the season. Then a real fire occurred which destroyed the grass and jumped this fire-break because of the strong winds. The fire-break now displays the longer green grass and creates the odd effect and difference in legths of the grass.

This neck breaking perspective of the Eucalyptus or gum tree is hopefully more interesting than looking at the endless rows of trees in the plantations found in the Drakensberg. The Eucalyptus was brought in from Australia in the 1800's.

More photos of the RR weekend: Zeldie, Vera, Andrew and Herman.

Unique photo of the teepee crossing the bottom of the frame and superimposing itself upon the tree. Beautiful light and shadow display.

Neck breaking is the understatement. I had no idea that this type of tree could grow so tall. Thank you for the posts and information you've given. HUGS!!!

That's one tall tree. The height reminds me of the redwoods in California.

Yes...tried a few of these myself...Elms and Oaks rarely grow this straight,though.Intersesting bark,and way to blast through the border,good touch!

I have a sore neck just looking at the screen which tells me it's a great shot! :0) A friend who studies a forestry told me there are 600 species of gum trees! We have a few varieties in NZ too. Gotta a go and get a neck massage now.

LOLOLOL @ "very interesting" comments on Cream Toppings shakes head Oom Piet, you're a typical male at times. But we love you so it's cool ;0) Now, I need to say this, so don't take it the wrong way ok? I would've done a portrait here. Nevertheless, I love it! The blue sky with the green green leaves brings a magnificent contrast! And the Oom played lekker with that frame ne? I wish I can just get my butt in front of the pc so I can go try out a few TUT's!!! Lovely capture Oom Piet! Keep 'em coming!
