There is only one place in Victoria that I know of where you where can walk right into the canola fields and immerse yourself in the glorious and bright golden yellow flowers, and that is at the 'Cornella Canola Walk'. In conjunction with the Shiraz Republic Winery and Cornella Brewery just outside of Heathcote in country Victoria, a canola walk has established complete with a viewing platform and walking track through the flowering yellow crop. And this is where I went on the last day of winter.
Amongst the vast fields of canola, there stood one single tree with wonderfully twisted branches. Known as the Piano Tree, this tree reminded me of the windswept trees inhabited by witches and faeries drawn by one of my favourite illustrators from the Golden Age of Children's Illustration, Arthur Rackham as it basked alone in a pool of late afternoon sun. Here it's gnarled hands reach out over the vast yellow of the canola fields, ready to pluck a bloom or two!
Now in its third year, the 'Cornella Canola Walk' is a wonderfully immersive experience that is full of colour! It was a wonderful way to spend the last day of winter this year, surrounded by a seemingly endless field of golden yellow flowers beneath the blue sky!
This tree didn't survive, but it's still graceful. The tree is on a ledge in Capitol Reef National Park.
What it s really , one deceased tree and one that has gone to meet it's maker - seen in Bushy Park . There are a number of trees fallen and left standing like these two in the Park , I suppose this is a deliberate action as the old trees would be used by nature for insects and birds nesting and shelter and whatever other use they can be used for . This shot was taken very close to where my previous capture of the resting deer and recently posted .
This old dead tree looks out over Glen Feardar in the Cairngorms awaiting its final chapter. Whether it be a highland gale or a lightning strike it's past caring now.
On the way down on the Guadalupe Peak trail this dead tree stood out against the surrounding Chihuahuan desert at dusk.
Explored 16th Oct 2020.
Even when no longer alive trees still have a charm of their own.

A twisted juniper reaches for a cloud on the edge of the canyon. We went on a hike around the top of the canyon at Dead Horse State Park. In the left center of the image is the White Rim road as it twists down to the canyon from it's entrance in Canyonlands.

Dead trees in the vast dry valley of the Tsauchab River. This region is about 35 km from the entrance to Sossusvlei. Due to the dry climate these trees survive a long time. It is a landscape of surreal beauty.
Graffiti artists converge on the abandoned waterpark near New Berry Springs. It's been closed since 2014. Some well-known artists have plied their trade here, but the majority of scrawls were done by people with minimal talent in my opinion!
Two hikers ascend the tallest dune as the rising sun floods the desert with warmth. And I can remove my toque and unzip my jacket
Something a bit abstract from me for a change. This leaning Skeletal Pine caught my eye and I thought that the image would work well in mono. So I layed on my back on the ground and set my 10-24mm lens at 10mm to get as much in the frame as possible and composed this image. I hope you like it.

"Spirit in the heart make the blood flow fast
Spirit in the heart make the beauty last
Keep the hope alive when the youth go past...
Spirit in the wood let the hollow cane
Echo in the afterglow
Waiting for the flame to burn again..."

Happy Halloween 2019!
A peregrine fledgling perches high atop a snag, illustrating the importance of dead trees in the environment. Peregrines require lookouts high on hillsides with enough clearance to see around them and outward, but close enough to the hill to remain discreet. They are constantly on the lookout for predators. Snags and dead tree limbs play a critical role their survival. Although not hunting yet, this young fledgling had advanced in its flight and landing skills since my visit the week before. In late June, this falcon preferred the safety of relatively flat cliff surfaces. One week later, it was exploring more precarious perches, like this one and various other dead tree limbs.
