Pattern in wood

VISUAL DESCRIPTION

The intricate patterns within this close-up image of wood grain tell stories of time and nature's artistry. A knot forms the centerpiece, its concentric circles emanating outwards like ripples on water—each ring marking another year in the tree's life before it was transformed into lumber. Green hues suggest moss or lichen growth, adding color to what would otherwise be monochromatic tones; these signs indicate that even after being cut down, wood continues to interact with its environment. This photograph emphasizes texture and detail while reminding us of nature’s complex beauty often overlooked in our daily lives.
