Back to Samuel P. Taylor SP for this shot. Had a chance to go on a hike and found this glorious Redwood Tree. The thick bark with the interwoven patterns were very intriging.
This is the second photo within my set with the title "TreeBase" (See below for the first posting). The moment I shot this new photo I knew the title because the prior shot I have such afinity towards. Not the excessive moss as the orig shot, but I think the deep thick texture to that bark makes up for it! What do U think?
