Outback-Christmas-Trees!
Although Australia does not have any native Christmas trees of the traditional variety, I reckon these majestic boabs provide a fine substitute!
The large seed pods act like natural baubles hanging from the branches and the firey outback sunset provides the light!
I have not seen any other images from the above location, which I found outside of Derby after travelling along many dirt roads of reducing quality and then across the edges of the surrounding tidal plains in search of a scene such as this one. I was not disappointed and you can expect a few more images from this location from varying angles as the light changed, in the new year!!
In the meantime I hope that everyone enjoys the festive season and that you have a wonderful 2014 - stay safe and may the spectacular light follow all of your photographic pursuits in the new year!
And on a personal note I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their views, comments and favourites over the year - I really appreciate it - it means a lot to me!
Taken with a Pentax 645Nii medium format film camera and fuji velvia 50 film.
