..So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell?

Blue skies from pain?

.

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

.

Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

.

Cold comfortable change?

Did you exchange

A walk on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage? …

(Lyrics extract from Pink Floyd’s legendary song ‘Wish You Were Here‘  off their 1975 album of the same name)

These photos, as you scroll through them, are of Tasmania’s wild old growth forest heritage, which is currently being destroyed in 2012, driven by the Premier Lara Giddings Labor Government of Tasmania.
