Post of the day

I happened to notice the new contest tonight, about tree roots, and though I have passed many an interesting cluster over the years, this particular tree was so unattractive as to be irresistable. It lives in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas, on a street I used to use as a shortcut to other parts of the neighborhood, and my first reaction on seeing it was 'wow, that is really f-ugly". It has its own craggy charm, though, so I took a picture of it.

So aside from the contest, I would love to know what anyone thinks of this image, so, feedback encouraged, thanks!
