Photo taken some time ago... it's near Kancoona, which was one of the area effected by the Victorian bushfires back in Feb... this was taken about a week and a half before the Black Saturday.
Wanted to recreate something like this for the current "Trees III" challenge, but it's too hard to find tress of this quality around Melbourne, and I didn't have the time to make the 7 hour round-trip to take a photo of this tree again.
