A tree at the base of the Port Darlington breakwater stands watch over wind and waves and grows a new coat during winter storms.

Last week’s blasts from the west whipped up the waves and funnelled splashes high into the tree.

By the heat of the noon-day sun the glow was a glorious spectacle.

A moment of sunrise

Cold fire with twigs
