dead_tree_stormy_sky_B&W.jpg

Taken at the little known East Coast beach at Rheban in South East Tasmania, this Eucalyptus tree had tried to reach for the sky but died from drought, disease or most likely a rising salt table, as it is barely 50 metres from the ocean. Its branches climb higher as they become more delicate, showing clear evidence of its fight for survival. I felt it at least deserved to be photographed so it will live on.
