The branches make a good texture. I can´t quite see the 45m tallness of the tree from this pic. Maybe I needed couple of teeny weeny birds or sexy dragonflies you have in other pics, ha haa!
Hi Amila Salgado, Last weekend we were at Kokkare Bellur to see the migratory birds there. I have blogged on it in my other blog 'i Share'. You are invited view at leisure. :) Regards, from India.

Great shot and great angle. That is the SWF angle isn't it?

That's a beautiful tree. I love the perspective.
A delightful view.. I should think this tree would make a great silhouette as well
Excellent perspective.
Wonderful SWF-shot from you!
Have a nice weekend:)
A lovely tree. Some of those dragon fly shots from a few days ago are great. Love the sunset in last week's Skywatch, too.
Thanks for visiting my blog and greetings from Florida. :) I'll be back.
