Yellow Fever Tree Forest on the Western Shore
This picture shows the perils that the trees are facing because of the rise of the waters of the lake. Yellow Fever trees have very shallow roots. The rise in the water table meant that the soil was softer, resulting in the trees toppling over. I love the contrast in colour between the trees and the water.
