Very cool Mark. These detail shots don't always grab me, but I'm liking this one a lot. Nice.

Great study in texture.

Nice, Mark! I really like the contrast between the darker, reflective flakes of bark at the edges and the grainy texture toward the middle. Interesting to study.
What a neat shot, Mark. Like it a lot. Great texture makes it a palpable image. Fun. Gets all the senses going.

Thought I'd post this here, since Mark could have been the photographer: check out today's Oregonian (Nov 29) for a photo essay on "bark" taken at Hoyt Arboretum. It's in the HGNW magazine insert. Interesting stuff!

This looks like some of the sandstone we saw down in the SW recently.
