the precise architexture of the fan palm
Here’s a continuation of my travelogue in photos from the Yucatan Peninsula. I don’t know what many of these tropical trees are but that doesn’t keep me from appreciating their beauty. You don’t see many other tourists taking closeup photos of tree bark. I have a very patient family.
coconut palm trunk and exposed roots
textured trunk at Chichen Itza
they have shelf fungus in Central America, too
beautiful lichen at Coba
the trunks are like an abstract painting
strange knobs on this one
here the live outer layer of bark is growing around a dead area
a massive root snaking its way between two smaller trees
