It’s a few weeks after a bush fire, the burnt bark is peeling off the Paperbarks and the understory is green in stark contrast to the still blackened tree stumps. It’s my favorite time in the Aussie bush.

Macro photograph taken from a Paperbark tree. Botanical name Melaleuca, also commonly know as a Tea-tree. This depicts an abstract of waves. Bark from the Tea-tree forms many different patterns and shapes, drenched by rain, dried by sun all contributes to the wonderful colors and patterns. Focal length 6mm

Macro photograph taken from a paperbark tree. This one had a lovely section of multiple colours, much like a piece of old patchwork leather. I suspect some colours are caused by mould etc. / / /

Macro photo taken from an Australian Paperbark Tree. I had a little extra fun with this one. I loved the patterns and textures so I increased the colour and contrast some, to create this carnival festival feeling to the abstract. / /

“The rocks we were climbing today were going to be quite a feat! We had started out before sunrise on our adventure this morning while the air was still cool. Once the sun is up we’ll have to find some shade to escape the inevitable heat. Then….I nearly stepped on him. A gorgeous lizard, cleverly camouflaged on the rocks in front of me” Macro photograph taken from an Australian Paperbark tree. This was taken late in the afternoon, there had been some rain so the bark was quite wet. With the bark being so damp it seemed to enrich the colours somewhat. I adjusted the contrast a little as well which gives a painterly feel to the abstract. FOCAL LENGTH 6.0mm

A giant Melaleuca twists its roots down in to the calcium rich waters for a drink. The water flows and soaks over a lot of limestone giving it the high calcium levels that contribute to it being such a brilliant colour. / / as always – thanks for viewing and yes these are/were the actual colours of the original transperancy. / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2007 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / see more of my photography from Nth Qld below /

Shot in Nome, south of Townsville, Australia this tree would possibly have been young when Captain Cook sailed close by in 1770. Sadly, since the photo was taken a few years ago, it has broken in two – possibly under its own weight. This exemplifies one of the values of photography: to counter, at least in some form, the evanescence of life. That reminds me of a quotation of William Faulkner, the American writer: “The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life.” Probably this image won’t be around in a hundred years. But for now, I like to think the art of photography is doing one of its jobs here. / / The image was edited in Photoshop with significantly increased saturation, peripheral burning and the application of third party polariser and gold filters. I also popped my signature (created using a graphics tablet and the brush tool) in the lower right hand corner.

“The hazy moonlight softly touched the distant clouds as I walked home. I breathed in the warm evening air as my thoughts were of my home and family. Moments like this helps to still my mind and absorb the beauty around me. Yes, I am truly blessed….............” Macro photograph taken from an Australian Melaleuca tree!! Focal length 6-20mm.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Seaside Abstract Nature’s Abstract – Macro of a Paperbark Tree.
-
Following my first shot of the flowers from the Melaleuca tree or tea tree as it is commonly known. I also call it the paperbark tree, which is where I capture a lot of my macro abstract photos from. The bark was used by aborigines to wrap around wounds, to cook food in, and I also read they used them as nappies for their babies. Great for drawing on as well. A very versatile tree indeed.

Spirit of Delight ~ Chena River Autumn Colours / Tanana River Valley / Interior Alaska Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “A gold fringe on the purpling hem Of hills the river runs, / As down its long, green valley falls The last of summer’s suns. / Along its tawny gravel-bed Broad-flowing, swift, and still, / As if its meadow levels felt The hurry of the hill, / Noiseless between its banks of green From curve to curve it slips; / The drowsy maple-shadows rest Like fingers on its lips. / A waif from Carroll’s wildest hills, Unstoried and unknown; / The ursine legend of its name Prowls on its banks alone. / Yet flowers as fair its slopes adorn As ever Yarrow knew, / Or, under rainy Irish skies, By Spenser’s Mulla grew; / And through the gaps of leaning trees Its mountain cradle shows / The gold against the amethyst, The green against the rose. / Touched by a light that hath no name, A glory never sung, / Aloft on sky and mountain wall Are God’s great pictures hung. / How changed the summits vast and old! No longer granite-browed, / They melt in rosy mist; the rock is softer than the cloud; / The valley holds its breath; no leaf Of all its elms is twirled; / The silence of eternity Seems falling on the world. / The pause before the breaking seals Of mystery is this; / Yon miracle-play of night and day makes dumb its witnesses. / What unseen altar crowns the hills that reach up stair on stair? / What eyes look through, what white wings fan These purple veils of air? / What Presence from the heavenly heights To those of earth stoops down? / Not vainly Hellas dreamed of gods On Ida’s snowy crown! / Slow fades the vision of the sky, The golden water pales, / And over all the valley-land A gray-winged vapour sails. / I go the common way of all; The sunset fires will burn, / The flowers will blow, the river flow, When I no more return. / No whisper from the mountain pine Nor lapsing stream shall tell / The stranger, treading where I tread, Of him who loved them well. / But beauty seen is never lost, God’s colours all are fast; / The glory of this sunset heaven into my soul has passed, / A sense of gladness unconfined To mortal date or clime; / As the soul liveth, it shall live Beyond the years of time. / Beside the mystic asphodels Shall bloom the home-born flowers, / And new horizons flush and glow With sunset hues of ours. / Farewell! these smiling hills must wear Too soon their wintry frown, / And snow-cold winds from off them shake The maple’s red leaves down. / But I shall see a summer sun still setting broad and low; / The mountain slopes shall blush and bloom, The golden water flow. / A lover’s claim is mine on all I see to have and hold, / The rose-light of perpetual hills, And sunsets never cold!” Poetry by John Greenleaf Whittier 1876 ~ Featured Member’s Choice Outdoors Fall Scenics October 2007 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi /

The butterfly and birds were taken from my painting “Thoughts and Things” and the white flower is an old plastic earring….the teapot was given to me by my father who knows I collect tiny silver things like this…..from an op shop somewhere, thank you dad! The table is a cork! Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …

Paperbark Birch in Autumn Gold / North Pole Alaska North Star “Lost in the forest, I broke off a dark twig and lifted its whisper to my thirsty lips; maybe it was the voice of the rain crying, a cracked bell, or a torn heart. Something from far off it seemed / deep and secret to me, / hidden by the earth, / a shout muffled by huge autumns, / by the moist half-open darkness of the leaves. Wakening from the dreaming forest there, / the hazel-sprig sang under my tongue, / its drifting fragrance climbed up through my conscious mind as if suddenly the roots I had left behind cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood… and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent.” ~ Poetry by Pablo Neruda Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.
