This time, I hope it will be the good one... lol ! This afternoon I go on a forest on a hill at some km from our house, called "La Colle Noire" the one who has burned in august 2005... It was the first time I came here after the fire. Terrible, the biggest part of the forest has completly disapeared. And on another side of the hill their are almost some Oak Cork intact. I've always love the incredible texture of this tree, with so many brown colors. I think it's a wonderful texture for this Challenge !!!!

I like these cork (?) textures. The late afternoon natural light gives it golden true tones.

You're right Carlos, there was a beautiful light today and a great blue sky.... as in Spring !!!! (I'm in South of France). This oak was a wonder !

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?
