This photograph celebrates the majesty of a regenerating forest once devastated by bushfires, and now a multi-layered, mystical landscape–rich in texture and the detail of nature. It captures the distinct pattern of parallel lines created by thousands of extremely tall, bare Mountain Ash trees in the Murrindindi region of Victoria, Australia. The abstracted composition encourages the viewer to see the beauty in the natural world through patterns, lines, form, and texture.
