A little bit more abstract than my usual photos, I lay down on the woodland floor and took a series of photos which I joined in Photoshop.
I can see this tree from my house and have tried several times to get a shot at dawn and dusk with colours. Thankfully persistence paid off and there was lovely colour in the sky tonight. This was a 210 second exposure.

so every tuesday and thursday I go to the computer lab during lunch to scan pictures and i only end up scanning one picture because then the scanner just stops working.
I love these trees and this muddy lane is one of my favourite places. We had to drive through a flood on Saturday and since it has rained lots more it is possibly the last time will will be able to drive down it this year.

Eucalypts are planted in parts of North America, usually arid places like California. In Victoria, BC, it is unexpected.
Ficus rubiginosa, commonly known as the rusty fig or Port Jackson fig (damun in the Dharug language), is a species of flowering plant native to eastern Australia in the genus Ficus. Beginning as a seedling that grows on other plants (hemiepiphyte) or rocks (lithophyte), F. rubiginosa matures into a tree 30 m (100 ft) high and nearly as wide with a yellow-brown buttressed trunk. The leaves are oval and glossy green and measure from 4 to 19.3 cm (1 1⁄2–7 1⁄2 in) long and 1.25 to 13.2 cm (1⁄2–5 1⁄4 in) wide.
The fruits are small, round and yellow, and can ripen and turn red at any time of year, peaking in spring and summer. Like all figs, the fruit is in the form of a syconium, an inverted inflorescence with the flowers lining an internal cavity. F. rubiginosa is exclusively pollinated by the fig wasp species Pleistodontes imperialis, which may comprise four cryptospecies. The syconia are also home to another fourteen species of wasp, some of which induce galls while others parasitise the pollinator wasps, and at least two species of nematode. Many species of bird, including pigeons, parrots and various passerines, eat the fruit. Ranging along the Australian east coast from Queensland to Bega in southern New South Wales (including the Port Jackson area, leading to its alternative name), F. rubiginosa grows in rainforest margins and rocky outcrops. It is used as a shade tree in parks and public spaces, and when potted is well-suited for use as an indoor plant or in bonsai.
