Thanks again to van swearingen@Flickr for sharing an image with us (original | BPotD Flickr Group Pool). Appreciated, as always!
Rainbow gum or rainbow eucalyptus is native to Indonesia, Papua-New Guinea and the Philippines. Its presence in the Philippines makes it the only species of Eucalyptus native to the northern hemisphere.
The World Agroforestry Centre contains a fact sheet on Eucalyptus deglupta.

Gorgeous, thank you!
I had to laugh. It is very beautiful in nature, but when I first glanced at the picture my first thougth was, "Ug, that was my sister's 1970's color scheme! NOOOOooooo!"
Very interesting photo. As it unfolded I looked and looked, thinking it was a 'bird eye view' of the earth, somewhere where the Eucalyptus grew, it looks like lakes, and various crops of whatever, and honestly, I was kind of confused until I realized that this must be a picture of the trunk or bark of the tree. Amazing where one's imagination can go with just a picture. I've not written a thousand words, but I could, I bet. Thanks for the very colorful treat.
I grow a number of Eucs on my property and knew immediately what it was, even though I don't (can't) grow this one. A great photo!
Cheers, LPN (Barrie)
Interesting colors. Hmm, the Phillipines are in the northern hemisphere? Phew, back to Google Earth!

Wow! What an eye this photographer has! Thank you for this beautiful image.
Thank you for solving a mystery! We admired and photographed 3 trees with this beautiful rainbow bark on Maui, but had no idea what it was.
Very beautiful and also similar to the snow gum bark. Is there a family tree for eucalypts ?
an inspiration for some hand dyed shibori....
I can tell where can I obtain seeds of this type of eucalyptus'm interested
