[Man From Ironbark]

Another beautiful photo, MFI.  love the soft salmon-colored sky colors; it's glowing. And the purplish clouds near the bottom look great with the sky color.

Almost all the trees are leaning to the right. Strong prevailing winds?

Actually leaning into the prevailing winds. It was an error made by myself. I started planting trees on the west side of my yard, on vacant land(not my land). Problem was I started nearer my fence and over time worked westwards planting more. Like another row each time, each year. This meant that the younger trees had to lean away from the older trees to get light. The plantings were done in the 1980's. I basically ran out of hose length by 1991 qnd the weather was dryiing up. Since then we had a twenty year drought and more than half of the trees died but the still living trees were already leaning. They'll sort themselves out but it will likely be long after I'm pushing up daisies.
