Katie Dew, Grass Trees and the Galactic Core (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT)

The photograph captures the grass trees of Australia, hardy, ancient and standing tall with the galactic core rising behind them. I captured this image using a 50mm lens to showcase the galactic core of the milkyway, hoping to provide some depth to the image. The grass trees can be found in the Scenic Rim, south east Queensland in June 2023. There is something magical about standing out under the stars with trees that are possibly hundred years old.
