This is a gum tree going through its natural process of shedding bark. Taken on a rainy day, a whole chunk had come away (you can see the stripes on the trunk behind), making this incredible natural sculpture. This is also my entry for the 21st Monochrome Madness Challenge initiated by Laura Macky along with Leanne Cole who is the curator. Do take time to check out Leanne’s post if you haven’t already..

Nice enrry for the MMC.
Cheers 🙂
