id est vultus cerritulus equus.

so i take it this is an outdoor walking path at the prison?

 

[Gianluca Drago]

I like it, I just like it. The main trunk is beautiful, but I look at those leaves on the ground and the difference between being and not being immediately becomes an illumination.

I opt for tiger! What a surprising thing a tree trunk can be---

 

[Brian Moore]

I have an old desk made out of tiger oak. This must be what it looks like in the wild. (At least my avatar thinks so.)

More like the asylum sometimes, Beth. I'm just grateful I'm let out for exercise if I promise to be good.

Thanks Gianluca. There's a lot of contrast there and not just photographically.

Whereas I immediately though 'zebra'. It's my wife who's the tiger.

As I said before somewhere, even the mundane has its moment and can surprise. The trick is to catch it when it's having it.

I had to look up tiger oak. I'd never heard of it, if I had I would have thrown that in as well.

What a fabulous effect and what a great picture it has resulted in. The effect of the lighting on the leaves also makes the image for me, but without the tiger-trunk grabbing the attention at first, alone they would not be enough. Super stuff, Peter.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It’s an interesting shot, which has led to fun comments. Good one.
