Bark of the snow gum tree

These photographs were taken as slides several years ago when I was staying at the ski resort of Charlottes Pass in the Snowy Mountains.  This was summer and some of us rose very early and walked in the mountains to an area where we knew these snow gums were displaying their beautiful colours for the season.  As the sun rose the water on the trees increased the saturation of the colours.  I still love these shots and scanned them.
