'Chinese Red Birch'

so brilliantly?

I love your new glittery background.

The tree looks like a terrain map - lovely photos once again my wonderful Mum.

There is a lot going on in that bark. As well as being very pretty, it is that very thin layer below the bark that is the workhorse for the hugest tree.
I'm amazed at the colours. Great viewpoint.

This is simply stunning. I am amazed at how nature imitates art and art nature. The trunk looks like a piece of pottery specially treated to appear as it does. The power, majesty and height of the tree is overwhelming. what beautiful shots these are. Thank you for sharing them!
