Vines under the bark

Can you see those? I find it amazing how those vines silently grew under the bark of this tree. I don't know what they are. To my logic, they grew there more recently, as the bark cracked as they grew stronger.

Well spotted, that sure looks amazing, Great textures and lines.

That is truly bizarre, but very cool--nicely spotted!

[Susan Wakely]

Strange. Great textures.

[Brian Moody]

Never seen anything like that before. Great capture

[leggzy]

Interesting. Are the vines also up in the canopy of the tree?

[moni kozi]

@leggzy I don't know. I'll have to go back and check.

You are renowned for your trees!

Nice shot

[Mags]

That is so amazing! Healthy trees will swallow all kinds of things.

@delboy207 Am I? That is so kind of you to say!

[moni kozi]

@marlboromaam I am not very sure if the healthy tree swallowed the other organism (but trees are really amazing at that, as also seen here: https://365project.org/monikozi/365/2021-03-21).
But this might be a parasite or just a case of symbiosis.
I will go there soon to check if I can get other clues.

Amazing phenomenon

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of it. Have seen it on several trees. No problem to grow.

[RonM]

SO subtle. Enclosed as the tree expanded!

[Shutterbug]

Amazing spotting. Love the subject as well as the textures.

Beautiful textures, they just look so good in black and white.

[moni kozi]

Yes, they really do! Thank you very much, @borof
