Once upon a time there was a dry land. A very, parched dry land. All the trees were dead and living things were hidden away in deep, dark places ....

I'm really enjoying this series - I love bark texture, but haven't spent much time recently looking at it. What you've done so well is emphasised the painterly qualities of the bark.

The greens are fantastic, still very alive, nourished by rain. Beautiful series.

Fascinating structures. When I looked at the thumbnail I thought it were some graphics. Very interesting.

@payam: Yes it is a native Australian tree. It is the trunk of a eucalyptus tree (we call them gum trees). I upped the saturation a little and rotated 90 degrees. Here is a photo that will give you a good idea of what the bark in a Eucapypt forest looks like.
