Starfish
Macro photograph from the bark of a paperbark tree. This young tree has grown so quickly the bark has split creating amazing designs and textures! The bark is quite soft and supple. Aborigines used to wrap fish in the bark and then cook it on hot coals. Its also great to wrap around cuts and wounds as the oil is a natural antiseptic. Tea-tree oil is a popular disinfectant is produced and marketed world wide!
This was taken late in the afternoon, with apperture priority. I am passionate about macro photography especially bark, rocks and flowers!!!
