An old wide spreading tree at Cooyar Beach, far north Queensland. This old tree feels like the sort of tree to delight wood sprites, feyries, elves and other peoples of nature - and children.

I spent about half an hour walking around the tree checking it for best angle and effect especially with the sun shining through the branches the way it was. I tried several shots from different angles but this showed the tree to best effect.
Trees like this are very few and far apart here, there used to be quite a few with character like this but many have been sacrificed to various developments.

That's about how I felt when I first saw it, it lives about 1,300Km north of Brisbane. I have often thought of using it in a sketch with feyries/elves/woodsprites in the branches.
There are very few trees with character like this near here (there are a few in the botanic gardens, big fig trees), they are generally cut down to grow houses, roads, shopping centres or just because they are annoying due to the leaves they drop.
