Oh man what an awesome abstract! I always notice these trees too - especially after it rains, looks like this after some rain/water as well? Wonderful mix of colors and shapes Anthony!

Thanks folks,
Andrius- This is the American Sycamore, there is a London Planetree which is in that family but this is one of my favs.
Floris- This is actually after some heavy rains back this fall near my home. You guessed it. I had to wait for some wet weather to get this shot.

This is beautiful Anthony! Fantastic patterns and colors. BTW - The street I grew up on in NJ was lined with Sycamores. As the bark peels, amazing patterns and color emerge. Great image!

Wonderful! That bark looks like it's oozing down the tree trunk. Very nice colors, shapes, and textures in this one.
