I love this spooky pic. We see the driveway to Cruden Farm, the acclaimed garden of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, 102 year-old mother of Rupert. She still lives an active life by all accounts. The trees that invite us into the misty unknown are lemon-scented gum (
Corymbia citriodora). To view them in person, fly to Australia and take advantage of an open garden day on August 28, 2011: details
here and
here. I'm astonished to learn that Dame Elisabeth is a Buddhist, though I don't know why I am astonished.

I can't decide whether it is a painting or a photograph. It's very haunting and beautiful.

The whole Murdoch clan like garden parties. It has now been revealed that Elisabeth Murdoch and her husband Matthew Freud held their own garden party the day before the Dowler revelations at their home, Burford Priory. Amongst the guests was one Andrew Davis, whose Von Essen hotel empire recently collapsed with debts of hundreds of millions.
