sand-stone misnomer

Posted on August 3, 2015 by wongswyn

the heavitree range, it would appear 
is not
A wide, panoramic photograph of the Heavitree Range, an arid and rugged landscape under a clear, light blue sky. Despite the name suggesting trees ("Heavy-tree"), the scene is characterized by undulating, rocky terrain with sparse, dry vegetation and no prominent trees visible across the vast expanse. A distant ridge of low mountains forms the horizon. The color palette is dominated by earthy browns, yellows, and grays, emphasizing the stark and open nature of this Australian environment.

as craggy habitat, it's no match 
for sandy river gorge
A photograph taken at ground level within what is likely the Sandy River Gorge, featuring several tall, slender gum trees with light-colored bark and sparse green foliage. The ground is sandy or dusty, with dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, suggesting the presence of a riverine environment conducive to tree growth, despite the "sandy" descriptor. In the background, more trees and vegetation indicate a more vegetated area than depicted in the Heavitree Range photograph, highlighting the unexpected contrast and the wordplay in the post's title.
