The stubborn oak

[ulf]

Yesterday I went to revisit the  site for the image "Gated community", to see how it turned out in 850nm NIR in the summer:

A new topic will come later about that.

 

On my way home I spotted an interesting shape of what I thought was a dead tree that I hoped would give some interesting images.
It turned out that the tree was not completely dead and had sprouted a rather long think branch at one side.

Most of the three-top and branches are dead.

I think that the tree lost some big branches in a big storm many years ago.

A few tens of meters down the road there is another oak of the same size that looks to be of the same age.

 

I used my Irix 15mm lens at f/9 with a rear putty-mounted 850nm filter and on my FS-converted Sony A7III for these images.

Images are reduced in size to fit the forum pages.

The original 6024 x 4024 pixel images has a lot of small interesting details. The lens is very sharp
