Storm Victim






My third visit to the island was a lot of fun! recent wild weather and even some whilst I was there made for some interesting photographic opportunities. It was hard to believe the amount of downed trees there were from the heavy storms that had been battering the western coastline. Somewhere near Botany bay, Port Renfrew, we found this massive tree stump with what was left of the tree laying beside it. It was fresh, within a few days, based on the colour of the timber and the sawdust still remaining on the trail where the obstructing log had been cut away. Tara stands at the base to give some perspective on the immense size of the tree. She was a great local tour guide, taking me places I never would have otherwise seen. I owe the entire experience to her, so thanks :)
