I've heard of Colourful Landscapes....but this ?

[Honest Gaza]

So I'm driving through Mt Annan Botanical Gardens in Sydney's West, and minding my own business when suddenly out of the corner of my eye I am distracted by a tree in the surrounding landscape.

I rubbed my eyes, checked the bottle next to me....yep, just plain water and slowly looked up and out the window again.

Now in Australia, we have a tree called a Blue Gum.. Not sure if this is unique to Australia or not....but I'm damn sure they don't come this blue anywhere else in the World.

I kid you not....this is the actual photo with no post processing.....

Wow, that is blue. All I have are Blue Spruces that look well.....kind of green.

[Honest Gaza]

I reckon I should have looked harder amongst the bushes....might have found Rolf Harris hiding there

[Nickcanada]

Wow!... great edi..., I mean, find!

Ali Baba lives

[Honest Gaza]

Still don't believe me ay ?

Here's a crop....





...it wasn't me....and I ain't that clever

[sunnythepsychocat]

Could park ranger painted it blue for some kind of marking or something. Somehow, I think it is not natural and normal

[Nickcanada]

Wow! you're good at PP

That first picture looks so fake! I guess truth is stranger than fiction sometimes eh.

[adam75south]

i'm either impressed or...well, impressed.

Someone with a lot of time on their hands painted that sucker. (Notice no leaves in the middle of summer? They must have killed it.) Is that what you guys do for fun down there? Definitely makes for a cool photo though.
