I noticed this tree also had an odd texture... Actually it had no texture! All the bark had shriveled and shed off. The tree looked like it was on its way to the grave and yet... it had leaves on the top still! It was very particular, I don't know if this is a special kind of tree or the damage to the bark was caused by all the carvings of lovers marking their promises to each other. Either way, I was very intrigued to photograph it =)

nice lighting! was it sunset, or was there some sort of lamp, or was it just your camera?
ReplyDeleteThanks! no lamp, all natural sunlight. It wasn't quite sunset yet, but the texture of the tree does look orangy/brown like that, and the f2.8 limit of the lens added to the distortion/colors
ReplyDeletecould it be an arbutus tree?
ReplyDeleteoh i think you're right!! The bark is like that!
ReplyDeleteI love the arbutus tree! its bark is so unique!
