Peta and Debbie on Megastump, Gardner State Forest, WA

This is NOT a manipulated image, the karri tree (Eucalyptus diversicolor) really was that big. However, the Western Australian timber industry did not have the means to move it from the logging coupe, so the tree was left to rot after being felled.
Love the contrasts and the textures here.
Thank you for the comment.
But his is also a political image about unsustainable logging and planetary waste
We probably have similar thoughts...
