Sycamore Seeds 1

There is a tree I pass by each day which, at this time of year has round spikey seed pods hanging from its' branches. It's bark is rough and motled. Some its' branches look sharp and ragged when silhouetted against the sky. So far as I can tell from "googling" they are Sycamores, sometimes known as London Planes.

 

I took a series of photogaphs of them. These are the black and white versions. I think the silhouettes of the tree and its' seed pods have more impact in black and white. They have also been manipilated in Elements with different lighting effects and filters.
