Ghostly sentinels..

 

In the city on Sunday evening to take some shots of a fabulous new light installation which I'm saving for Friday, I couldn't resist a quick stop on the way home to take a few pics of my favourite trees lining Fraser Avenue in Kings Park. The majestic lemon scented gum trees were planted in 1938 to replace the red flowering gums planted in 1898 which were affected by patch canker disease, sounds nasty! Not quite one hundred years old but closer than not :) Will show a few city shots through the trees tomorrow. Sorry I haven't been around the last few days, circumstances beyond my control, will catch up with you today. Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..

    Interesting shots - those glowing, zig-zag branches remind me of lightning strikes!

    Love your photos of these beautiful mature trees, especially at night with the lights shining through them. Hope all is well.

    Canker disease is awful, there are a few trees here and there in the larger cities that have been affected.

    The trees look so lovely with the lights on them like that. I haven't been out after dark for ages. We really have not been going anywhere much.

    I still could bite my butt, Grace. 1995 we stayed over night in Kings Park, sleeping in the car. I took no pics.
    I took no pics!!!
    Think you´re not allowed to "camp" there these days.
    I thought of getting married there. They wanted 500 bucks!!! So, Neil Hawkins Park it was - 20 bucks for in case we make a mess, which my friend got back cause we made no mess.
    500!
    It´s for free, luckily, otherwise, right.
    Looking forward to more pics!!
