Intentional Camera Movement for this burnt Xanthorrhoea sp. Commonly know as Grass Trees (formerly 'Black Boys' from less informed times). This tree would have been one of the biggest I had seen in Pine Ridge Conservation Park, before it was destroyed by a multiple arson attack on Jan 8 this year. I think I also might have been shaking with grief as I took this image in the deliberate ICM. Image taken at 7:04 am, day 2.
