This huge fig tree was growing in the middle of a kid's playground. It looked to us like the best playground equipment of all!
No postpo work at all, only an insane supermacro shot through a fig tree leaf.
Hey! did you like this shot?
don't forget to visit my most interesting shots! =)

Victoria Chambers, 14 Figtree Lane, Sheffield, c1800.
Former Sheffield Hospital for Women.
Grade ll listed.
In this building the original Sheffield Hospital for Women was founded with 6 beds on 29th June 1864. Transferred to Leavygreave Road as the Jessop Hospital for Women on 22 July 1878.
Three shots combined and tonemapped in Photomatix. Taken just outside Scotts Head opposite Charlie's place.
This enormous fig tree (well, not by Australian standards, according to my mom, but certainly by mine!) was growing at the end of Olvera Street in Los Angeles. I liked the morning sun coming through the branches.
Something a little different. I have a few bird shots from these locations.
We have two local tourist destinations with two huge old fig trees. Both have walk ways around them to keep people off the actual tree roots and understory plants.
Both trees are thought to be over 500 years old. In one of the photos i managed to get a person photo bombing but it still doesn't really give a true indication of actual size.
They are heritage listed so will be protected for as long as they can remain standing. There is so much information on these two trees i was not sure what to add. I will add both of their names so they can be found with ease via google.
First three photos are of the Curtain fig tree and the others are of the Cathedral fig tree.
These Fig Trees are of the strangler fig species (Ficus virens.) Normally these figs germinate on top of another tree and try to grow roots into the ground. Once this important step is accomplished, the fig will grow vigorously, finally kill the hosting tree and then grow on independently. In the case of curtain fig the hosting tree tilted towards the next one; the fig also grows around that one. Its curtain of aerial roots drops 15 metres (49 feet) to the ground.
Although these figs kill their hosts, they are an epiphyte which basically feeds from the ground, unlike a parasitic plant which feeds from the sap of the host plant/tree.
The tree was a rescue. It was destined for the composter. The lovely young woman who was going to toss it asked me if I would like to take it home. I got the fig, 2 raspberry & 2 blueberry bushes in the deal.

Moreton Bay Fig Tree stands 89 feett tall and is the largest Ficus macrophylla in the United States. El Capitan Portola of the Royal Spanish Army camped at this spot in Santa Barbara with his party on August 18, 1769 on his epic trip to establish California as a colony of Spain.

The Hillville Fire had run all the way to Rainbow Flat then entered Khappinghat National Park. From there it spread east to Wallabi Point, north to Tallwoods Village and and west to Mt Talawahl. It also burned south to the boundary of the Serenity Resort which adjoins the National Park.
It also burned almost right up to the junction of Old Soldiers Road and Figtree Drive at Moor Creek, about 1 kilometre north of my property. Fortunately favourable winds and cleared land at this point allowed a number of RFS brigades to slow, then stop the fires progress just short of the Old Soldiers Road and Diamond Beach Road junction.
The smoke in this image is coming from dried out swamp land largely made up of peat moss. Peat moss fires can burn for some time after such fires but a local RFS volunteer who lives nearby kept a close eye on it after the brigades were called away.
