Don't look now...but your skin is showing.

I guess these trees shed every year, but I've missed it until this year. The bark is falling off in sheeting, covering the sidewalk below with crunchy fragments of bark. It looks so odd.

Wonderful picture; love your title. Couldn't remember the Dutch word for planetree, so I had to ask Google for the translation: 'plataan' is the Dutch name of this wonderful tree.

That is strange, I've never seen a tree like it. Nice capture
