A vertical photograph shows a multi-tiered stone fountain topped with a dark statue, surrounded by lush greenery and flowerbeds. In the foreground, foreground, yellow flowers cover the left side of a flowerbed while purple flowers cover the right. The stone fountain features carved basins and an inscription on its central base. Atop the fountain stands a dark statue of a figure with one arm raised, holding a thin object upward. Thick green trees and foliage fill the background beneath an overcast sky.

A landscape photograph shows a calm body of water surrounded by lush, green tropical vegetation under a blue sky with scattered white clouds. On the left side, an island is covered in dense shrubs and ferns. Two exceptionally tall palm trees stand prominently in the center, rising high above the surrounding treetops. To the right, a dark sculpture sits on a stone pedestal near the water's edge, alongside more thick greenery. The foreground includes part of a light-colored paved area next to the reflective surface of the water.

A large, wide-spreading tree with a massive trunk and thick branches dominates the landscape. The tree features a heavy, textured trunk with prominent buttress roots extending into the dark soil below. Thick, sprawling branches reach outward, covered in dense clusters of green, oval leaves that create a broad canopy. In the background, a manicured green lawn is visible, bordered by a white fence and distant trees under dappled sunlight. Small, indistinct figures of people can be seen far off near the fence line.

Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the mulberry and fig family Moraceae. It is native to eastern Australia, from the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland in the north to the Illawarra region of New South Wales. The infraspecies Ficus macrophylla f. columnaris is endemic to Lord Howe Island. Its common name refers to Moreton Bay in Queensland. It is best known for its imposing buttress roots. – Wikipedia

A large banyan tree with thick, pale grey aerial roots and sprawling branches dominates the image. Numerous vertical roots descend from the upper branches, creating a dense, intertwined structure at the base. The canopy is filled with dark green leaves through which sunlight filters

Restricted to Lord Howe Island. The most remarkable characteristic of this plant (as compared to F. macrophylla subsp. macrophylla in mainland Australia) is its lack of a single main trunk. Instead, it has 10 or more trunks each having arisen from an aerial root. In 1882 it was recorded that the largest of the old trees on Lord Howe Island covered an area of about 1 hectare.

A black and white photograph of a stone lantern standing beside a pond in a garden with dense foliage. The light-colored, tiered lantern features a rounded top, a middle section with small rectangular openings, and a cylindrical base. Beside the lantern, a dark body of water reflects the surrounding trees. Various types of greenery, including long grasses and leafy plants, surround the stone structure and line the edge of the pond. Large tree branches and palm fronds extend across the upper portion of the frame.
