These could be............in my backyard

[mechanic1300]

Here in Australia we have a plant called a blackboy. These grow wild in the scrub and if you purchase one from a garden centre they come with a tag to prove that it is purchased and not "acquired" from the great outdoors. The first photo is of my blackboy, but looking at the photo it could be anywhere in Australia. The second shot shows it in my backyard. Amazing how changing the perspective can fool the viewer.






Thanks for looking. By the way that is all my handywork around the pool

Amazing what a difference perspective makes! Judging from the first picture, I had no idea how tall those spires were. By the way, nice handiwork on the back yard. Can I come by for a swim?

that's an interesting looking plant .. and I like where you plant it in your backyard .. judging from the work you did around your pool - you're just an all around handy person

This indeed is a teaching shot for any newbie to see. Perspective can make all the difference to a photograph. Great work mechanic. Simple trick, but so effective.

I'll be there as soon as my pilot is free to fly me down there! All kidding aside, I'm glad you tookt he time to show us the different perspective on this plant. Sheds a whole new light
