Description
"Propose to an Englishman any principle, or any instrument, however admirable, and you will observe that the whole effort of the English mind is directed to find a difficulty, a defect, or an impossibility in it. If you speak to him of a machine for peeling a potato, he will pronounce it impossible; if you peel a potato with it before his eyes, he will declare it useless, because it will not slice a pineapple." ~ Charles Babbage
An odd quote but I found it rather humorous. :) This infrared photo really captures the detail of the bark, while the newer wood beneath is almost too bright. ------
Thanks for your wavery comments on my last upload,

Splendid textures and tints... A gorgeous shot that I adore!
designs of nature well photographed......!
Superb image! Bravo!!! :)
this is very cool, love the look of this!
What a fascinating image. It's almost hard to tell what is peeling away and what is new. I really like this Kort. It's such a wonderful texture abstract. You always bring such interesting and unusual things to the 'table'. Have a great day!-M :^)
This is marvelous...instead of a peek-a-boo type shot, these are on top and boldly stand out. Love this reverse affect... reverse of what the eye expects to see that is. Wonderful.
Excellent humour Kort that goes so well with your pict ....
A wonderful IR capture and pov! Funny quote too :)
Great textures and light.. Excellent work
Nice work! If you hadn't mentioned the IR, one never would have guessed it.
Awesome!!! I love the effect! Really well putting the spotlight on the peeling bark!!!
Excellent work of art!!!
eucalyptus ?.... nice pic
super looking here
Excellent texture, great capture!
A great shot and I love the textures. The lighter part underneath reminds me of the inside of a fresh coconut!! Bravo!
Infrared or not, it looks exactly like the bark that is shed from our condo complex eucalyptus trees. The bark sheds in huge sections, leaving the trunk in pristine, shiny condition. Great lighting and texture effects in this clinical capture.
=) More likely sycamore considering your location, eh? Cool shot~
Incredible textures. BJ
fabulous work Kort a real treasure of natures abstract
wonderful shot, great texture, really stands out in this tone
That's great!!! AND I LOVE THE QUOTE!~!!!! WHAT A HOOT!!! :o)b
excellent results with the ir. and the quote describes some women I know.what ever you say, they have a come back remark
Kool contrasts of light and textures, almost like the Australian Gum trees (Eucalyptus) or Leopard trees, but ours look like this, even without the IR ! ~Cheers~ :o)
that beauty!!!!! Roby
Reminds me of the many sunburns I had after fishing all day in the sun. My skin starts to peel. Interesting capture. Aloha

Amazing image! Like an alien landscape.
