Looks to me like some kind of pine, judging by the plated, almost scaly bark. It resembles the kinds of pines I grew up with in Florida; longleaf and shortleaf pines. Although I could be (and probably am) completely wrong.
No, CyberLizard, I would say you're completely right. Pinus sylvestris, to be precise.
Very nice. You've got a good eye for interesting textures.
Hi!
Just visiting from the Festival of Trees. Lovely picture! Have you ever counted to see how many different mosses and lichens are growing on that one tree?
