Looking North from my position south of Mt Compass, I captured a mesmerising photo that appeared as a masterpiece painting depicting the pre-existing landscape before the town's establishment. I am currently exploring the intricacies of an Art Nouveau style, particularly focusing on trees, reminiscent of the remarkable artworks created by Sydney Long. I seek out trees that have gracefully adapted to the Australian environment throughout the years, showcasing their unique and captivating forms. These trees possess a certain allure, weaving a tale of resilience and harmonious coexistence with the surrounding nature. With every brush stroke, I aim to immortalise their beauty and evoke a sense of nostalgia for the untouched wilderness that once enveloped this land.
