Texture

With this group of images I decided to look into the texture of the palm trees I was photographing. The stem and bark of the palm are interesting because they are not woody like most other trees. Instead, palm trees have much softer, more fibrous trunks which can take damage very easily. I tried to find places on my trees which demonstrated these different qualities, resulting in some similar but notably different images.

My first image demonstrates the softness of the bark using the holes punctured into this tree.

This image is a better representation of the fibrous composition of the outer bark.

In this image, the outer bark has been stripped away, revealing the texture of the inner trunk.
