Diary of a Carbon Farmer

This is the diary of an Australian family who escaped from the city, joined a farming community, and learned to love soil. Carbon Farming is about growing soil carbon - the first link in our food chain. The topsoil is where God's creation is taking place, at every moment. Carbon is the building block of life. By growing it we can restore ecosystems to health. At the same time we can remove Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as Carbon in the soil.

One Tree Hill: A Series

I saw this tree through the window of the car while we were held up at roadworks on the road between Mudgee and Lithgow. I stared at it for a while, thinking it looked out-of-this-worldish. Just before the stop light changed, I grabbed the camera and got 4 or 5 shots, one of them was this.

Dang me if I didn't see something similar while driving between Wellington and "Uamby" by the front route (the highway) while flashing lights and waving cars down as Tim Woods drove his humungous sowing machine down the highway. I came back a few days later - late in the afternoon - and took this shot. Eerie.
