Perfectly timed and that tree is perfect for this, looks like it can (and has) weather plenty and not move an inch.

From the lorry's shadow it looks like a single exposure, but - the timing, man!

high structure and contrast. Great brushstroke motion blur. well done.

Nicely frozen tree for 1/5th!

Wow, what a display; those "leaves" are unbelievable. Surprised you haven't got right up close and filled a frame or two with these contrasty beauties.

Despite many months of pictures from your "new" environment, seeing the cacti in an urban setting like this still intrigues.

Ripper light and shadow display; very much like how you've excluded to top of the tree to allow the big spreading limbs to cap the show.

Whoooosh! Cool. I like the tree too.

Super shot, they were moving, you weren't. Sometimes it's hard not to pan a little when you don't want to.

Gorgeous light to show off that tree. I haven't zoomed in close but that's a cracking result from a phone camera.
Appreciate the info on your GRIII adventure as well, thanks.
