Ghost Gum, Western MacDonnell Ranges
I may have inadvertently given the impression there is nothing in Central Australia apart from Really Big Rocks and the occasional salt lake; while this is true for the area around Uluru, as you move further north the landscape becomes gradually more hospitable (relatively speaking). This picture of a Ghost Gum was taken during a tour of the Western MacDonnell Ranges, a 400-mile-long mountain range which splits the Central Australian landscape.
beautiful angle and framing !
Thanks Mariana!
I always like trees photographed there against dive. It makes it giants and I imagine any sorts of stories on their life
Thanks Marie!
ah, there is a tree, too. Very nice. Reminds me of our beloved West Texas…
More than one, actually. This was just the nicest 
fabulous perspective.
Thanks Leanne.
Oooh now that’s a great perspective… Glad to see there’s more than rocks and dead stuff…
Quite a bit more, actually – I’m just showing the photogenic bits
Awesome perspective. This is my new favorite of yours.
Thanks Kala, I’m glad you like it this much!
Great angle to capture this tree! You perfectly use the surface of the image with all the branches.
have a nice day.
Thank you
Very nice shot – gentler colour and I like the shape of the squiggly branches against the sky.
Thanks Jayne. When I saw the branches against the sky I just couldn’t resist.
Whoa! Looks like it’s just about to get up and walk…
Maybe it’s an Ent
Love your point-of-view and how you’ve framed this. It’s one wonderful tree…WOW!
Thanks Marcie. It’s even more impressive in person!
How many times did I stand, mesmerized, unter the canopy of one of those mighty and elegant eucalypts in Victoria ? Fabulous picture !
Thank you! They are an awe-inspiring tree.
