Wonderful capture !!

Good one, Mike! This reminded me of the twisted pose some models assume. There is even a belly button near the bottom. The markings are unusual. Terrific composition and light. The greens and blues are fantastic.

Excellent shot! It has reminded me how long it has been since I came across one of these!

This is incredible in so many ways! I love the spiral shape and I wonder if it came about as a marker of the way the tree grew, back when it was still doing that being alive thing that trees do so well. The silvery weather-wear is marvelous and the POV is magnificent. Ah...and temperatures in the 80s are a good thing, but too much above that and things get hinky!

Amazing photo!

Super capture of this dead tree it makes me wonder how it died as it does not seem old enough to be old age, could it have been a fire.

So interesting, Tara. It seems as if this tree is dancing, just a performance of a ballerina, but a very long figure then ;-).

Maybe you have never heard of this saying: 'someone or something looks like a twisted sandshoe' ? - but for some reason this reminded me of it, when I spotted this unusual and remarkable growing 'thing' ;) I wonder how this happens? most intriguing ... Well spotted Tara, BB

That spiral-patterned bark is fascinating - great capture...

I hadn't thought of it before, but I'm with Andrea...how in the world does a tree groww that way? Something to explore...
