Grass Trees as far as the eye can see


Fellow SciNatterer Margaret Ruwoldt has ah one of her pictures put up as the Earth Science Photo of the Day. It is a field of Xanthorrhoea flowering in the Brisbane Ranges National Park after a bushfire. Cris Lawson has more and links to Margarets other photos at Talking Squid.

What an exotic yet creepy looking landscape. Almost alien.
 
Thanks for posting the image, Ian :-)

Rob: you're right, it was quite an eerie day. The visible evidence of destruction by the the local fires, the consciousness that the sky was a weird pale grey-white because of smoke from *another* bushfire hundreds of miles away, there were very few insect or bird calls, no wind so no rustling of leaves...

Yet, when I look at the photo now, it feels quite peaceful and mellow.
