Newcastle Downunder

By jensphotos

The palm tree on the hill

...and also the obelisk.  I am sure I have blipped this area before.  The obelisk has often been struck by lightning as it is on a high point   There used to be a windmill there when Newcastle's white settlement began which was very productive as being high there was always a good wind. 

Tonight there was a feisty breeze blowing and you might see the branches of the palm tree blurred in movement.

A nod to Joe Tree for his vision in creating blip.   Where would we all be without him. 

(The only tree I could think of that was isolated and less than a 5 minutes drive from home).
