Mono Monday: Trees

This was my intended photo for the Mono Monday challenge, but I was too busy and then too tired to upload it on the same day. This is my favorite eucalyptus tree on our property, and I often photograph it as part of my sunset shots since it is on the western side and can be viewed from the deck. Normally I include a large portion of the canopy in the shot, but thought it was more interesting as I zoomed in some on the branching pattern. Mono really emphasizes the branches, and in the dusk there is less of the "peeling" texture of the bark. Behind the trees and in front of the mountains is a bank of fog/mist, which really looks like a lake in the photo.
