Monkey Puzzle

Stunning details and so razor sharp !!

Wow! That's awesome! I like the contrast between the green and brown sprigs.

The contrast is wonderful. Is it Araucaria?

Yes Berny............Araucaria araucana, the Monkey Puzzle Tree.

Spot on and tack sharp Keith, just like colour popping already in colour. Like Jean we have a near neighbour with one of these, but they have spoilt it by hanging stuffed toy monkeys all over it.

"Stuffed toy monkeys"...............brilliant..!!

Love it Keith. I adore monkey puzzle trees, with their complex leaf/ foliage structure.
The araucaria is the official emblem of Chile, where they grow in huge forests.
Here, the contrast between new and old is sharp and beautiful.

Thank you all ever so much for dropping in and passing comment. You're all very kind.

It has been said many times Keith, but the detail really is fantastic! Also the contrasts in colour is terrific!

Thank you so much Rosa. You're very kind as always.

All of the above (excep that my neighbour doesn't have one).

Thank you John.................maybe you should have a word with your neighbour!

Ooh, wonderful! I don't think I've ever seen those trees up close and have probably only seen one in my life, anyway! The brown parts look very sharp.

Thank you Diane and yes, they're very sharp indeed - both the green and the brown - sharp enough to draw blood if you're not careful.

Wonderful capture of this monkey tree branches. Razor sharp details. Well done Keith regards Tess.

Thank you kind lady!
