some trees


I don't know what Europeans call these trees. Anaglyph might, polymath that he is.

Of course, the Lia Pootah people would have had their own word.

What a lovely, haunting picture. It gives me a delightful gothic heroine in gossamer white feeling.

I know just what you mean. And the next day had an amzing blue cloudless sky.

Haunting is the word, especially once one clicks through the Lia Pootah people link.

I want to frame this one and give it to my friend. Her home is done in a black, white & forest green motif. Very stark and very plain. It's lovely and it makes me sort of sad.

I'm saving the link for when I get home from WORK! :)

In America we call trees like this "kindling in the way of the new ATV trail".

All of you are wrong. In America, we call it toilet paper.

hereT: Finally on saturday we got a government who will say sorry to the original people of this land. A muted hooray, as this is shamefully long overdue. Here is a good article about the Stolen Generation, and John Howard's refusal to say sorry. Our new PM Kevin Rudd (Kevin '07) will make that his first action in Parliament - saying sorry to the Stolen Generation.

malach: That's why in your horror movies the Beast always returns for one last bite. You are too quick to call things dead.

sara sue: Send me an email address to [gingerstick at gmail dot com] and i will send you a jPeg you can have printed for her.

colonel: Oh dear.

cuntie: Oh dearie me.

Sorry I'm late. Up here we call them there trees "leafless."

anaglyph: Next time, quick sticks.

catalyst: I'm almost sorry I asked the question.
