Red gum rising

My favourite place to be, walking through forest.

 

It triggers physical and mental calm in one's body and brain.

 

Practices like Japanese shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) tap directly into this deep sense of belonging.

 

And biophilia is the innate human instinct and biological tendency to seek connections with nature and other living things.

 

And of course the intrigue and fascination at everything I come upon.

 

This might be a red gum (Angophora costata) or a blue gum (Eucalyptus saligna), featuring a tall, straight, orange-to-cream trunk rising into a forest canopy.

 

Both Angophora and many Eucalyptus species shed their outer bark seasonally, leaving behind a smooth trunk in shades of orange, pink, cream, or grey.

 

These canopy trees often grow from 25 to over 50 metres tall, competing for light in Australian wet sclerophyll or open forests.
