Description

OK, here's one that I actually CAN identify - it's a closeup of the trunk of a monkey puzzle tree at Shore Acres State Park. Here's some info from Wikipedia: "Araucaria araucana (commonly called the monkey puzzle tree, monkey tail tree, Chilean pine, or pehuen) is an evergreen tree growing to 1-1.5 m (3–5 ft) in diameter and 30–40 m (100–130 ft) in height. It is native to central and southern Chile and western Argentina. Araucaria araucana is the hardiest species in the conifer genus Araucaria. Because of the longevity of this species, it is described as a living fossil. It is also the national tree of Chile. Its conservation status was changed to Endangered by the IUCN in 2013 due to the dwindling population." Two more abstract versions to follow...

I really like the image, even though I dislike these trees. They line the road through our town cemetery so always remind me of death.

zowie...a big bold spindly lair, filled with dangerous pathways and deep shadows, and shapes around it that are buttery, honey-like and very rich. The dissolved background stalks/leaves (whatever they are) are delicious, visually; and your choice of crop/pov makes the white the perfect foil for this very intense capture. A mighty capture. Golden.
