In my garden one evening in early summer we noticed and loved this amazing effect of golden reflections of the setting sun on the leaves of a Eucalyptus tree, so, inspired, I captured the scene.
It was a beautiful dry evening, no rain or moisture on the tree, purely the effects of the sunset rays transforming the tree so it looks as if it is full of dancing, glimmering golden lights against the evening sky, like fairy lights or miniature jewelled orbs – the ultimate natural resource.
Magical, entrancing, I couldn’t stop gazing at its delightful, delicious splendour of light.
