Lápis Viarco - lindÃssimo, o stand!
Viarco pencils' factory (wonderful) exhibition.
I believe this is a Honey Locust tree, but I could be, and frequently am, incorrect.
During my walk through Stuart Park, this past weekend, I saw this tree with it's enormous clumps of spikes. It was a bit down a small slope, on the dam wall of a small pond. Having earlier picked up a handy walking stick, in the form of a small but straight dead branch, I felt safe enough to venture down the slope to get a closer (but not too swift or too close) look. I can't imagine the damage that these thorns would do if I slipped and butted any part of me into them. Ouch!
I grew up on land that is very similar to that in Stuart Park. We had 15 acres or so which included woods, a pond, a creek, and lots of grass to mow, driveway to shovel, and an orchard full of fruit trees to tend to. I recall trees just like this in the woods. Scary and not worth trying to climb. I don't recall ever having a run-in with these during my wild youth. One article I scanned while trying to identify the tree spoke of the author harvesting the clumps of thorns and using them for fishing spears.
Me, I just am intrigued by their odd placement by nature.
In this composition, I was imagining the large branches of the tree stretching towards the pond, or the horizon, pointing out some danger while protecting itself, the messenger. I have an active imagination.
I made it safely back up the small slope, after a small slip, saved by my leaning forward and the steady assist of the walking stick-branch. I figured that if I leaned forward, I wouldn't mind falling away from those spikes near as much as I would, had I fallen backwards into them.
Another enjoyable view of my world, taken while being outside.

The Point Wilson Lighthouse, near Port Townsend Washington, marks the entrance to the Puget Sound at Admiralty Inlet.
This lighthouse has been an active aid to maritime navigation since the day its Fourth Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1914.
The nautical charts show this lighthouse at 51' tall, casting an alternating white / red flash every 5 seconds visible for 15 miles.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.

Potts Point war erst ein Landsitz, wurde dann nach und nach aufgeteilt und besiedelt und schließlich entstanden hier in den 20er Jahren mit die ersten Wohnblöcke Australiens. Die Folge ist die höchste Konzentration von Art-Déco-Architektur in Australien. Nett.
