Belvoir Tree Autumn Curves

The old tree in Belvoir Forest Park, Belfast in Northern Ireland, is one which I frequently visit.

Here, I decided to get in close, as autumn got underway. The foliage of the tree itself is still quite green, whereas the trees in the background are more red and orange.

I was interested in the curving trunk and branches from this angle, the texture of the trunk and the shadows cast on the trunk by the leaves.
