Plantations and fires
"We were able to show that some of the most intense fires were associated with eucalyptus and also pinus plantations.The plantations really were driving some of the most intense fires on Earth at that point and these are not non-trivial fires.These are absolute raging firestorms." Professor Bowman

Amongst those who have the means and the inclination to adorn their grounds, may be mentioned the name of Horatius Livermore, whose charming suburban retreat of "Rock Ridge Park," is so appropriately named. A city nurseryman, has been engaged lately in setting out in these grounds, one thousand trees, consisting of the eucalyptus, that gem of Australia, walnut, sycamore, laurel and oak, besides shrubs of rare varieties."

"Although the exact cause was never determined, the fire began in the undeveloped chaparral and grasslands of Wildcat Canyon, just east of the ridgeline of the Berkeley Hills, and was propelled over the ridge and southwestward just south of Codornices Creek by a strong, gusty, and intensely dry northeasterly wind."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923_Berkeley,_California,_fire
Heat and wind appear to be the common cause for all the fires across California that week, and electrical delivery infrastructure was really young in 1923.
A lot of the towers and transmission equipment built by #PGE in California are old. The #Paradise #fire was caused by a hook on a tower that had been swinging in the wind long enough to saw itself in half. A PG&E engineer told me that the towers in the SF #EastBay are of the same vintage as Paradise.
It's also worth noting that people thought planting #eucalyptus was a good idea for a cash crop, in the late 19th century, in California.

Good podcast on the "green deserts" of #Brazil, where diverse ecosystems are being replaced by #monocultures of #soy or #eucalyptus plantations for #pulp and #paper production.

#EucalyptusCaesia, commonly known as caesia or gungurru, is a species of mallee that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
I’ve seen these here and there but have found them difficult to photograph. These were so high up, but managed to get a few good shots of these beauties.

Doctor's Swamp near Murchison, Vic. Red Gum swamp with lots of native forbs, #wetland plants, and also water #birds (saw Spoonbill & Black Swan). Many River Red Gums of all ages, often bearing hollows and giant burls. This place is always great to stop at if you're in the area.

#BrightonEast #Melbourne #Australia is home to this grand #gumtree!
So richly #Australian and native to this continent.
First two pictures are of the same tree.
3rd and 4th are of other tree foliage (#eucalyptus leaves) that are typical of #gums, given the tall one tops out at around 60 foot high (estimated).
Taken yesterday evening, pre-sunset.

This is 'Big Red', though he/she is actually a South Australian blue gum, #Eucalyptus leucoxylon. Biggest tree on our place and all the more special for being a crimson flowering form of the species. #bloomscrolling #ozplants #RockleighSA

An example of duotone in cyanotype.
It's a bit of a cheat, as it's a double exposure.
First, I exposed eucalyptus leaves for maybe a week. This length of exposure gives the golden green colour.
No light got through the leaves, so under there was still unexposed.
Then I overlaid the whole image with vintage acetate star maps, to get a 'night sky' within the leaves.
A normal exposure kept it blue.

Eucalyptus Caesia, or the Silver Princess. This species is from West Australia, but this particular tree is growing in Naarm (Melbourne).
