Structural Elements (2)
Another from the Tamron 28mm lens test, looking at the beauty of temperate zone trees in winter. This is an Oak tree, almost certainly an American Red Oak, Quercus rubra, but without the leaves or acorns, one cannot be certain. Many species of oaks, both indigenous & introduced, are present in Limousin. Oak is the most durable of all temperate hardwoods, and also one of the strongest, and has been used for both structural and decorative purposes for many hundreds of years.
1980 Mamiya ZE, f2.5/28mm Tamron lens, X2 yellow filter. Rollei Retro100 @200, In Diafine, 5+5mins at 21C. scanned @ 2400dpi on Epson V500.
