Colours, Patterns and Textures: Plane Tree Trunk.

On a dull and cloudy winter day, My attention was drawn to a plane tree because the branches were showing up as a pale ghostlike structure. When I got nearer I discovered the beautiful textures and map like patterns on the Trunk. This happens as pieces of bark are shed, leaving pale areas which gradually darken as time passes

The branches had larger shed areas, which show up a light grey from a distance. When I returned on a brighter day the effect was less noticeable.
