More texture studies in the soft winter sun...

Transition II

There is an old dead tree in a horse pasture near where I live. It wasn't until I got much closer to it that I realized that it has some rather amazing textures as well.

I've no real understanding of why the tree grain would grow straight for four or so feet and then begin twisting like this.

This tree presents quite a number of difficult photographic challenges - I expect to return a number of times to try to get a better feel for this amazing thing.
