Enigmatic Torsos
On one of many many rambles through Esher Common, I happened upon a majestic beech tree that had fallen in a recent storm. This was the first time that I had come close to the trunk and branches of a mature beech that would otherwise have been 15 metres or more above the ground. I was intrigued by the organic forms that the branches formed - the smooth, skin-like bark of the main trunk and the ripples and scarring in this surface caused by the branching process.
These images were capture on a Nikon Z 7II using q Z 105mm macro lens and a 40mm prime.
