When responding to a post of Brian's I got to thinking about why I never post any of my images of wood and rock texture. I suppose the reason is based on feedback from posting online and people I work with, which is basically complete noninterest, that they are an idiosyncratic interest of mine. Doesn't stop me shooting the subject, I just have accepted that it seems to be a very limited appeal
However; if you like this sort of thing this is one of the things you like.
This is sage brush. Actually still quite alive although it looks quite shabby and near dead . It looks like the image is noisy, but the bark has tiny texture that looks remarkably like pixels when photographed
