Finalist – monochrome: Transpiration
‘While driving home from a pre-dawn shoot in the Meander Valley, I stopped to admire the dawn breaking behind a young Blackwood tree. Its silhouette struck a beautiful contrast as the sun warmed its transpiring leaves, with the evaporating water droplets rising from the branches to mingle with the surrounding mist.’ Tommeginne country, Deloraine, #Tasmania.

Winner – landscape: The Beast
‘I love the raw power and beauty of storms. Watching this severe storm making its way to me, I was filled with excitement and anticipation. To capture the only CG (cloud-to-ground) bolt to come from this amazing shelf cloud was absolute bliss. Once again, thank you Mother Nature!’ Kabi Kabi country, Kings Beach, Queensland.

Winner – astrophotography: Oberon Kenobi
‘An amphitheatre of pandani watch on as the galactic core, swathed in airglow, rises over an alpine lake, nestled in a rugged Tassie mountain range. Lady Aurora dances under the Magellanic Clouds. This image was captured on a crisp night in one of Tasmania’s more rugged and majestic multi-day walks.’ Loinnekumme country, South-west national park, Tasmania.

Pencil pines (Athrotaxis cupressoides) are endemic to Tasmania. Individual trees are known to live to 1200 years of age, but many stands like this can also be genetically identical, meaning it could be considered as just one tree, lasting over thousands of years!

A 15,000 AUD reward has been offered as hunt commences for the object dropped by injured eagle. They think the eagle might have dropped the arrow head in Margate.
More info: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/hobart-drive/craig-webb-on-cupid-the-injured-eagle/105612098
Why is there a hunt?
Well, everyone is hoping to put the brainless shitfuck who attacked an eagle into justice. And the object dropped is an arrow head that may contain fingerprints. This eagle needs surgery.

Earth Star mushrooms are wonderful, looking like flowers with petals. This was the best I've seen this year.
Pd. Earth Star is a great name 😎
