Thank you, Geoff, Nandakumar and Joe, for your appreciation.
Yes I agree Geoff, the white bits are bit distracting.

Nice set, Lindsay. I think Geoff has a good idea for the orchid shot, the colours of which are quite lovely and nicely contrasted with the background. I am thinking #9 might be a good candidate for b&w, if you are so inclined.

Thanks Janis, yes I think the big burnt out log would look good in b&w.

A nice set Lindsay My favs are #2 and #3 .

Went off with my bushwalking club on Thursday and captured a few shots, this is meant to make up for weeks 42 and 43 as well as I am behind and just recovered from my jet lag.

The walk was on the Waterous Bike Trail, where Waterous is an old timber cutting village, nothing there anymore as it was all chopped out in about 1903. In recent times there has been bauxite mining in the new growth hardwood forest, followed by rehabilitation and more re-growth. Then last February there was a massive fire that burnt out large sections of the re-growth forest as well as a nearby small town. The walk was about 15 km.

# 1 Burnt out log in forest


# 2 Waterous Bike Trail - the guy that I was following is 80 years old, bloody amazing, I cannot keep up with him.


# 3 Small native wild orchids on forest floor are thriving in the spring.


# 4 Strong winds and fire have wiped out a lot of guys like this.


#5 Bauxite conveyor from Willowdale Mine to Wagerup Refinery, about 18 km.


# 6 Scorched log.
