This, that and the other thing 
What fabulous lines! 😊
Here there are lots of twisted trees and plants. It’s quite fascinating and I thought it would work well in B&W. Glad you liked it.

Stunning!
Thanks very much, Orna. I hope you and Tom are doing well.

His monochrome photography are awesome…yours is doing great too!
🙂 His photography is quite something, isn’t it? I don’t do a lot of monochrome, but this tree seemed to call for it.
dry nice and adams-y
Thanks, Yvette.
typo – dry was “very”
🙂
Stunning in black and white!
Thanks, Aletta. 🙂
And in the style of Janet 🙂 🙂 Happy Saturday!
Thanks, Jo, and happy Saturday to you as well.
Interesting!
Hopefully in a good way. These trees have such interesting lines and textures.
Yes
I really like this. There was an Ansel Adams exhibit here recently that I wish I had gone to see. You made a great capture of this old tree ❤️
His photos are so beautiful. I’ve never seen an entire exhibit of them. That must have been impressive.
Nailed it!
Many thanks. 🙂
Anyone who doesn’t enjoy Ansel Adams has a problem. I like this photo – a lot!
I’m glad, Frank. I was happy with it and am thinking it might look good framed.
Good idea!!!!
Great monochrome!
Thanks so much.
Haunting. The black and white treatment suits this one well, highlighting all the curves and sharp edges. It looks like nature’s answer to barbed wire.
There are a lot of twisted and textured plants here and a lot that have actual barbs of some sort. 🙂 You certainly have to be careful if walking off trails.
What a stunning picture!
Thanks very much, Marian!
Totally channeling the great man!
Thank you kindly. 🙂
This is such a great shot, Janet! Did you take it in b & w or convert it? 🌞
I took it in color but it was almost B&W already.
Gorgeous image in B&W, Janet. Nature is so magical.
Thanks very much, Sylvia. There’s a lot of magic at the Preserve.
Ansel Adams could find and capture beauty anywhere. I think he would have loved this one Janet. The curve of the intertwined base is wonderful and the use of B&W is perfect for it. Wouldn’t it be marvelous to climb inside his brain during one of his shoots to see things as he saw them?! In this case, I think he’d have agreed wholeheartedly with your choice.
And thank you very much in return, Tina. His photos are the kind that get right inside you. If I capture even a bit of that in my photos, I’m happy.
Twisty [roots?] never looked so cool! Love it.
That’s actually a tree, Ally. Things get a little twisted in my corner of the world. 🙂

Even cooler.
