This is in local open space park Mount Galbraith. Most of the trees in this area burned last year (picture in this blog post) and so all the trees look quite forlorn. I processed this in image in LR 4 beta. This gives just wonderful final quality but is still quite slow.

Photos from Australia's wildfires

Rob Galbraith compiled a list of galleries of images from the devastating wildfires near Melbourne. The images are at once hauntingly beautiful and immensely sad. My heart goes out to those affected.

Check them out.
