This is from a plane tree in a park called The Vines in Rochester, Kent. One guide book said that Charles Dickens was seen leaning against the wall in this park two days before he died. (I didn't lean against any walls there.)
Jack seemed to think the trunk needed an embellishment.
This oak bark has the added attraction of this interesting looking fly-like insect.
I come from a big-tree-deprived part of the world, so these dramatic large oak trees grab my attention.

The oak pictures are from Thorndon Country Park, Essex.
Thanks again, Doug, for showing us these places!
