I'm fascinated just lately by the different types of tree bark. I find it hard to ID trees but I think these three images may be the bark of mature sweet chestnut trees: deeply fissured with ridges that spiral up around the trunk. (I may be wrong!)
As to the specimen below... it's a symmetree! One of the monthly themes for my online photo group was 'symmetry' so I had a little play in Photoshop. I like how this technique makes the trunk look a bit like a totem pole.
Somehow the second one looks like a living creature. Alive like a monster, not alive like a tree. 😂
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! The second manipulated one is really amazing.
ReplyDeleteI like the bark shot.
