For the group #MacroMondays Theme: #PatternsInNature
Very artistic patterns created by a small insect that bores into the bark of trees digging tunnels into the soft surface layers of the trunk. This tree, a Sycamore, died and after I felled and logged it the bark fell away revealing these patterns on the wood.
Photographed outside in natural daylight conditions. No processing was added to the photograph but brightness, focus and contrast were all tweaked slightly to highlight the hardwood grain.

Wikipedia:
"In the Middle Ages, opal was considered a stone that could provide great luck because it was believed to possess all the virtues of each gemstone whose color was represented in the color spectrum of the opal. It was also said to grant invisibility if wrapped in a fresh bay leaf and held in the hand ... Following the publication of Sir Walter Scott's Anne of Geierstein in 1829, opal acquired a less auspicious reputation. In Scott's novel, the Baroness of Arnheim wears an opal talisman with supernatural powers. When a drop of holy water falls on the talisman, the opal turns into a colorless stone and the Baroness dies soon thereafter. Due to the popularity of Scott's novel, people began to associate opals with bad luck and death ... Even as recently as the beginning of the 20th century, it was believed that when a Russian saw an opal among other goods offered for sale, he or she should not buy anything more, as the opal was believed to embody the evil eye."
