Ninety-Seventh Collection
The Gothic St. Martin’s Cathedral from the 13th century stands in the central Place de la Cathédrale in Colmar. The city is located on the Alsace Wine Route, which is known for Riesling and Gewürztraminer from the region.
Taken at the botanical garden in Dresden, Germany in August this year. I was really excited about all the insects in the flowers (iPhone 16 PM).
A futuristic ride captured in a theme park, where geometric lines and glass spirals twist under a milky sky. A playful yet cinematic architectural scene, shot on iPhone.
Vintage school books that have withstood the test of time. Oh the stories they could tell from the many students who have spent countless hours perusing their pages.
Tasmanian Endemic Pencil Pine
​A close relative of the King Billy pine, the pencil pine is largely restricted to sub-alpine areas above 800 metres. Like the King Billy pine, the pencil pine is a Gondwanan species and is often located around tarns, streams and lakes because of its intolerance to fire. Pencil pines can reach ages in excess of 1200 years, but have little chance of recovery after a ​fire due to their very poor ability to survive fire, regrow from seedlings or suckers post fire, or disperse seeds more than a few meters from the parent tree. The trees are conical in shape with a markedly tapering trunk.
Pencil pines are known to clonally reproduce through suckering, with some whole stands likely to be genetically identical. This means that such stands are genetic clones which are likely to be thousands of years old.
Deceased Miena Cider Gum
High in the alpine region of the Tasmanian Central Highlands, the Miena cider gum (Eucalyptus gunnii subsp. divaricata) grows in cold, open hollows where frost lingers and few other trees survive. Endemic to Tasmania, it’s the most frost-tolerant eucalypt in the world, and the only place it lives is within a 20-kilometre radius of Miena, a small village on the shores of Great Lake in the Central Highlands. Its cascading, twisted branches, glaucous leaves and colourful trunk are a hallmark of the high-country landscape.
This image is 8 images taken at 1 second intervals, while moving the camera (phone) continuously, so therefore intentional camera movement and multiple exposure.
My favourite place to watch the sunset with mountain view and see people kayaking and puddling that I can use as my subject
