Yeh I know, more fire photos, but the landscape is so alien looking and bare after a big fire and there are other interesting things.

The bush shows some forgotten treasures, such as the old milk can, now rid of undergrowth and exposed.

The trees are doing their thing and epicormic shoots are appearing, so that they can get on with life.

These shoots will alter the nature of the timber in that in a few years, if harvested, the timber will display a 'birdseye' feature - each eye showing the location of a shoot after an intense fire.

Some of trees that are burnt match sticks are 30+ meters high. Fuck being there when it came through - granite boulders have split from the heat..

Danger still lurks in smouldering stumps, whose roots burn slowly under the ground, waiting for a waywood wind or foot to enter the coals.

Soon the bush will re-cover its secrets.....

At the moment it is, I would like to develop it further and make a living from it if possible.
