[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It seems strange to find a tree called a Rivergum here. The gulleys and streams around the Flinders Ranges are dry most of the year, only swelling and flowing during rainy periods, as can be seen by the dry riverbed in the background. But these giants are common and spread all over the ranges and surrounding plains.

Hi Steve,

that must be tough tree! Australia hasn't had any decent rain for too long now, i wonder how long before even the hardiest of species, such as this, really start to suffer.
You can almost feel the arid heat in this shot though, and i like the way you can just glimpse the hillside between the branches.

Great work, have a good weekend.

Paul

Hi Steve and Ioana,
This is a typical Australian scene, isn't it. Thank goodness we have had some rain and I am pretty certain it would be green up there, as it is here in the Adelaide Hills. They don't get as much rain up there as us but as you know every drop counts. A truly beautiful scene and it is of very good quality. Nice.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Steve.
Ditto to Paul's comments. Looks and feels hot and dry. Nicely done with the Range behind standing out against the dry red land.
I have only visited Australia twice and some of your gum trees are pretty impressive.
