The slope below Mount Stilwell shelters the finest grove of huge Snow Gum trees in the world. Unlike nearly all the Australian high country this small area has been spared the devastating bush fires that are triggered by lightning strikes. Many of the bigger trees are about 400 years old.
A studio shot of Zigi Georges with "her" tree. This is what she was seeking by going out in a storm with a waterproof camera. It's digital, large but not large format, and graces the walls of dentist's waiting rooms, accountant's reception areas, etc,etc. I can admire the commerce and the art but it's not my path.
