Wow ~~ so imaginative and varied! That first one is so beautiful.
My one & only good wood picture has already been posted (in the Arrazola thread).
The carving looks like Native American art from the Pacific northwest. Where is it from?
Did you know that Any Port has a skin called "marquetry"? Maybe it's the one you should be using. ;D

Do you wonder where it all came from? I often wonder that about driftwood - what's its story...

Ooo ~ rich!
One thing I miss about living in a humid climate is that soft patina of moss. (don't miss sliding on mossy brick walks!)

Actually, I was so enraptured by the texture, subtle pallor, and lichen in the pic #5 that I had ceased to see it a a piece of wood. Isn't that a compliment to your picture-taking skills? Cypress, right?

*smacks wooden forehead* In my defense, I was trying to see it as a piece of driftwood, but of course now that I've made a fool of myself on the worldwide web, I can see it's crape myrtle.
That sculpture is fabulous! Who made it?

The sculpture was done by a small group of artists from Bywater section of town,they call themselves,APPARATUS and do sculptures all around that area in empty spaces. They are friends of my helper/friend AKA" the brains of the outfit"

No, it was in a neighbor's yard. We lost most of our trees during the flood-proofing works done about 6 years ago - no chopping down anything for me for a while. Good thing I got good friend with about 10 acres of woods...

Thanks, imec. I'm finally getting the hang of image posting. (Helps to have DSL instead of dialup.)
Now I need to work on adjusting exposure etc before posting them!

Wonderful shot, Imec, with the twisty textured trunk and the way the cut ends pop out of the picture.
My question to Kimby is: did you bribe Imec to start this thread topic? Wow ~~ you really gave us an gorgeous and varied display of photography featuring wood!
