@Jerry: Thank you Jerry - the trees in that spot are both native eucalypts and introduced European species - some of the most exotic rose gardens in the country surround the Old Parliament.
@Dimitrios: Yes, autumn and its beautiful colors is coming - well, theoretically - but climate change here is so extreme, we may not see a seasonal change at all this year! Daily temps are still around 30 Celsius. Thank you for your visit Dimitrios (from the other side of the globe!)
@objectif-plume: Merci ob-pl - "superbe" est superlatif!
Stu from Kyoto, Japan
Great tones from the sunset, and a fabulous old tree. Nice positioning too. Lovely shot Sidonie.

@Henri Rabagny: Oui, on peut respirer a Canberra car nous ne sommes qu'une petite ville dans les montagnes; au meme temps, la ville est aussi le centre du gouvernment federale). Merci Henri! (je n'a pas le truc pour faire des accents, pardon! - )

Gorgeous light, the old tree almost looks fuffy the light is so soft.

@Bronnie: And you won't believe this, but a young guy - a "tourist" from Melbourne - was standing there with a camera, and didn't even notice the extraordinary colors! Now that's a waste of a good camera!
@frank: Thanks Frank - all natural color!
@Rahul: Thanks Rahul - cheers!
