I bet it would go on forever. Its magnificent. Love the contrast against the blue sky. #1712024

Agree with Candace great against the blue sky. Tree looks lonely but probably has great tales to tell. Thanks for stopping and capturing this image, John. #11715999

Great find and capture, John! I remember a song about a kookaburra sittin' in an old gum tree. Could this be the one? (Did you hear a kookaburra laughing?) <>< #11716035
