Wow! Fabulous capture of an amazing wave impact. Like. Greetings, Miguel.

Thanks madmax. Patience and planning are the keys to getting such an image. One certainly doesn't have to guess where they are for they certainly announce their presence. Glad you have enjoyed this pic.

The word bracken is related to the Swedish word bräken, meaning fern.

Almost correct. This is a Blue Mountains Fern

A dead Marri tree. If you look closely you can see a red coloured resin weeping out of this tree. It was used by ancient Aboriginals as a gum to secure spear heads to the spear shafts. You can chew this gum if you are desperate but don't swallow it unless you have a toilet close by. It will clean you out from both ends for at least 24 hours.

This is another Jacaranda growing in a town called Pemberton in the south west of Western Australia.

This is an introduced tree called the Cape Moreton Fig Tree. The fruit is small orange berries that are inedible to humans but the birds love them. The roots are very thick and extend up the trunk. On really big ones you can build a shelter between these extended roots.

These trees grow all over the world. They are the Pinus Radiata or more commonly called Pine Tree. They grow large cones full o f seeds which attract Black Cockatooes. These cockatoos are one of the few birds with a beak sharp and strong enough to split these cones open and also to chop them off the branches so that they fall to the ground to scatter its seeds. Other smaller birds can then feed on them.

This tree is the Mallee Tree. It is bent over by the constant pounding of the wind which can be very strong from November to May.
