Ghost Gum

This is my favourite shot of the year so far. Its a really pretty spot in a band of ghost gums on limestone that's only a short walk from the Ormiston Gorge accesss road. I like the mixture of the cool colours from the stormy sky and shadow combined with the warmth of the sunset on the gum and on the Heavitree Range backdrop. Ive always struggled a bit with the messiness of eucalypt leaves, particularly when its windy like it was on this evening, so I simply chose to exclude them.
