\"Eucalyptus\"

Eucalyptus<\/p><\/div>\n

Eucalyptus is an import from Australia, but it grows to magnificent dimensions in California, and can dominate a landscape in a relatively short time. I don’t know whether Jack London planted the groves at Jack London State Park or whether they predated his occupation, but the trees are some of the finest I have seen.<\/p>\n

The bark patterns are unique. I could have spent the whole day finding and recording interesting patterns. The rain in the air only deepened the colors and added interesting sheens. This is one example of what I was seeing.<\/p>\n

The light was not great…or rather it was interesting light but it made for a difficult exposure. Without the image stabilization on the H50 I would not have attempted it without a tripod.<\/p>\n
