A temperate woodland—Europe? North America? This is the redwood plantation (Sequoia sempervirens) at Belair National Park, east of Adelaide, photographed on July 12th, 2017. These trees were planted in 1966, the last mass planting of an exotic species to ever occur in the park, and have a long way to go to reach their full size. They towering trunks and fern ground cover create a distinctly north-temperate feeling to the hills above a very Australian eucalypt forest, and the wind in the coniferous needles is an unusual sound in these surroundings. Nothing fancy on this shot, just some minor enhancements. Fuji FinePix S5600, automatic. Image by Mike.
