Well composed and shot, Gillian. When seen on a black background so that the distractions of the website are obscured, this becomes a very mysterious and somewhat threatening picture. Rather a deep south Louisiana bayou feel with bad guys watching your every move ... or perhaps I've been eating too much cheese before bedtime.

Thank you. It's in a totally non mysterious location, between the beach and boardwalk in Noosa, Queensland, a very mature fig tree.

Awesome shot!

Wow,das wirkt großartig in SW lieber Gillain :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,liebe Grüße Güni :))

great pic for that theme!

That’s great, Gillian !

A fantastic photo, sw works very well. In large size there's a feeling that the aerial roots are about to engulf you:-)

wonderful tree and great in b/w

Great old tree and aerial roots,excellent choice bw

everything in nature is a mystery, this is a wonderful example

Wunderbare Aufnahme von diesem mächtigen Baum. Die Wurzeln haben Ähnlichkeit mit der Würgefeige.

A haunted forest?

This is along the boardwalk in Noosa, Queensland, a popular beachside resort town.

Remarquable n&b bonne journée.

Spectaculaire. On imagine le petit monde qui se sent protégé par ce tronc hors normes.
