Jacaranda Trees

One of the Jacaranda lined streets in Johannesburg South Africa. These trees form part of what is regarded as the biggest man made forest in the world. Johannesburg is on what is known as the highfeld - what used to be grass land. Settlers planted trees along streets and next to their houses creating a forest that impacted on rain fall patterns.

Sun circle

I photographed these sun circles in Johannesburg during October 2010. Light from the sun gets refracted by ice particles high up in the sky. It is not something that we see frequently in Johannesburg.

Hollow Tree

I photographed this tree in the Knysna forest while hiking there. It looks like something should be living there, but nothing is. Probably too close to the ground. If I could think something should be living there, so could most predators.
