Black trunk

2009.01.14

Canon 5d f2.8 1/25s ISO100 EF24-70L

The black charing is the result of a prescribed burn off four years ago. The structure of this marri’s bark is such that the outer layers burn with the fire and carbonize thus causing the fire to die down and smoulder for a short while without causing the tree any serious damage, life goes on…
