Despite that previous image taken from space, there is still a lot of wilderness in the most south-westerly corner of Western Australia. The next six entries delve into those wild places.
The karri trees seemed to me like white pillars holding up the sky on this evening.
After the rain has fallen in the forest, shafts of sun light filter down through the canopy.

These six entries detailing images of the south-west come from a week I’ve just spent down in the Walpole-Nornalup wilderness area.
This plant is carnivorous. It catches little insects with its sticky flowers.
I liked the way this former Banksia flower loomed out at me from the greyness.
This native fern sits as an epiphyte on a dead stump. I’ve been staying at a friend’s house near the Deep River. The world of moist, micro nature among the sandy soiled and gently undulating hills was such an intimate treat after the bold shapes and sizes of sixty metre karri trees and open-horizoned sea shores.
Thoreau’s log-wood cabin never had it so good!
