Grass Trees as far as the eye can see

Thanks for posting the image, Ian :-)
Rob: you're right, it was quite an eerie day. The visible evidence of destruction by the the local fires, the consciousness that the sky was a weird pale grey-white because of smoke from *another* bushfire hundreds of miles away, there were very few insect or bird calls, no wind so no rustling of leaves...
Yet, when I look at the photo now, it feels quite peaceful and mellow.
