Plane tree Bark Structure

Outstanding camouflage ...

Beautiful natural and organic forms.
The bark of the planetree I find to be quite special. The smell and grandour of the tree always remindes me of Saint Rémy de Provence (where these pictures were shot) ... we also have them in Antwerp (and ofcourse all around the world) and that smell is more or less the same. But let's face it, there's nothing like sipping your café au lait (or pastis) underneath a plane tree on the boulevard surrounding the heart of Saint Rémy.
