shot on a country road in the niederrhein area last weekend. i liked the almost typographic shape of the tree and then i discovered its bark and refrained from doing this picture in black and white.

I am not sure what type of tree this is but I first thought of a giraffe when I saw it. Not many German giraffes about, eh? :)
i have no idea about the kind of the tree, but i will try to find it out. i like the giraffe association very much! and you are right giraffes are a rare sight here these days indeed… ;)
Tee hee!
Great composition. And the bark has a life of its own. So perhaps photobooth journal is right and it is really a giraffe in disguise.
thanks a lot. the bark is really a highlight. and if it really was giraffe it really could stand very still.
