TreeTuesday: Battered Tree
**TreeTuesday: Battered Tree**
[![IMG_8941.jpg](https://s13.postimg.org/bpdjonqc7/IMG_8941.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/bcm5ih82b/)
Last week I went to the Dutch Embassy in Pretoria to renew my passport, I was quite early to avoid traffic. I parked under an old scruffy looking tree on the pavement and thought it would be a good tree to photograph for **TreeTuesday** and here is the result. The tree had a very course bark, I love he texture of it.

[![IMG_8948.jpg](https://s13.postimg.org/hy5jh26ev/IMG_8948.jpg)](https://postimg.org/image/s87ygawab/)
As you can see below, the tree is quite large, but not in a good state.

It however had these very big roots, spreading out on the ground to anchor it in the ground, you can also get an indication of the sprawling roots in the photo above. Below is a picture of the roots close-up.

The leaves looked very healthy and green, indicating that the tree is now happy, I supposed it went through a rough time before.

I don't know what type of tree this is, but it is nice and green.

All photos were taken by me with my iPhone

Hope you like it.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it

About this tree, It reminds me an oak tree, but I don't know what species.

You're welcome. Wish I knew what was the species, I didn't know​ oaks could grow in South Africa until now. I searched a little and learned some english people introduced *Quercus robur*, but it's not the one in the photo. Oh I tried!

You can make good abstract photos with bark trees. I usually do.
