Grown in a tangle

The weather has been a bit iffy today, as though it might rain any minute, but Lester suggested a trip out anyway and we went to the cafe by Runnymeade for lunch and then on to the Savill Garden for a walk round.
These are stems of a Wisteria ; they've intertwined and gone very woody over the years.

A good shot. The b & w adds to the texture and age.

There's always a photo if we open our eyes isn't there! Well observed and nicely done, the processing really brings out the textures in the aged wood!

Wonderful textures of this gnarled old stem.

[Rosie Kind]

Great textures which is accentuated by the b&w

I like this, you've gone with a close crop - note to self next time. I have done lots of these and they all look rubbish, so roll on spring and I will have another good:0)

[Janet]

They look like coils of rope - they must twist as they grow. The BW brings out that texture and pattern very well.

[carol white]

[elkehochban]

Beautiful! Love the texture!

[Milanie]

Wonderful texture - yes, it definitelydoes look like thick rope - so perfect for the b&w. You've got an ideal composition with this.

[Hamble]

Great textures. I bet a wisteria this size will be lovely in the summer.

[Carole Imes]

Great capture of those interesting textures. We also have some iffy weather predicted for the next few days. After what seems to be weeks of 70 and 80 degree temps here, it will be going down to the 40s at night and only 50s-60s during the day with mist, rain and wind.

[Matt Clendon]

They look like ropes. Interesting shot.

[Brian Baptie]

So well suited to b&w!!
