Posted for Thematic Photographic # 272 - Treetops
This topic took me straight back to Australia in October a couple of years ago.
A friend and I visited the Otway Fly, 2½ hours' drive from Melbourne.
The walkway is built among the treetops, and is 30m (98½ ft) above the forest floor - if you
climb the 'spiral tower', you will be 47m (154 ft) up.
I don't normally feel too comfortable with heights, but this was a great experience.

Oh how beautiful. While I LOVED Antarctica, I suffered badly from tree deprivation. And the longing suprised me with its intensity.
ReplyDeleteI really love trees. One of the things I most disliked about building a new house on a bare piece of land was not having any trees on our section. Luckily, there were plenty round about to delight in.
DeleteAll of the little new trees I have planted get a bucket of water each every night in this hot weather :)
Those are beautiful shots, especially those silvery trunks. But not in a million years would you get me on that aerial walkway!!!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, Gilly. My legs go all wobbly...
DeleteI don't mind the heights. I'd love to hang out up there and wait for the birds to show!

They'd be rather different from your usual bird friends, thunder! :)
DeleteLovely views, Alexia. I think I would have been a bit nervous being up that high! Well done you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jess. I must admit I was glad to be on the ground again - but it was certainly worth it!
DeleteOf all natures gifts, the sky, our trees and every drop of water, is but a magical kingdom. We are so lucky. You have shared just my kind of place to wander and play. Lovely photos, Alexia.
ReplyDeleteit was a fabulous experience, Karen.
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. One day I may get the gumption to take an "aerial walk"!
