Slow Flow of Growth Rings
As everyone knows, a growth ring marks a year of tree growth. This image suggests that after a tree trunk sprouts a new limb, its growth rings slowly "flow" around the new limb. It is as if a new limb creates "turbulence" that physically diverts the tree's slow, yearly creation of new wood.
Years later, as shown here, we can see the history of this slow process. This becomes possible when the tree is cut down and sawed into things like these planks.
Location: Foot bridge over a pond, Tier Park Lange Erlen, Basel City BS Switzerland.
In my album: Dan's Patterns: Wood.
