Not a local native, this Eucalypt has been planted on a Crystal Brook roadside. The last layer of bark is beginning to split to uncover the next layer.
An ant is climbing up the tree trunk, but you will need to see the full sized photo to appreciate that; detail on the right.

The lowering sunlight, the gum tree leaves on the left, the diagonal line of the grain shoot, all make for an interesting composition.

The platform is balanced by the flood lamp in this composition. The lighting is also an essential part of the photo.
