This was taken at the Beaver Point day-use area - on a visit to Salt Spring Island back in 2010. Most of the tree was gone, only about 15 feet of stump was left.

Processed in LR4, converted to B&W using NIK Silver Efex 2
40D with 17-85mm lens @ 64mm, ISO 400, 1/400s at f5.6

Oh my. . . this bark is really lumpy! Your lighting and the conversion to B&W really helps to highlight the great texture on this bark. Nice one!

Looks like a landscape where I'd hate to get lost! Is this a burl? The lumpy texture is great and your b&w conversion really emphasizes the texture.
