Tuesday 5 May 2009: El Pele; Exploring Natural Textures And Contrasts

I saw this interesting and intriguing tree bark formation and wanted to try to capture the textures and contrasts it created.

Honestly, I'm not too sure what type of tree this is. Perhaps it's a Gumbo Limbo?

3. Do you have Eucalyptus there? Sorry if that's a dumb question, that's what it looks like to me. Love the treatment and the amazing peeling bark.
