Beautiful series of unique shapes.  The burl looks nice!

Crisp, stylish black and white as in Aguinaldo's best tradition.
If I had to choose only one of them, the cactus would be my choice.

WOW. The tree is really something. Is he happy or not? Is he just like he is? I am really fascinated!

Thank you all for the comments.
Frank, I don't know if that tree is naturally that way or if it is somehow attacked by a disease. Maybe Bjorn can answer it.

No.2 is a great example of a burl.  Burls seem to be very common amongst Australian tree species.  They are highly prized by wood workers for their unique grain patterns.

It is generally thought that stress due to climate, damage, and plant viral infections trigger burls. 

No.2 is interesting in that the burl is near ground level.  However they can occur at any height.  Whilst they are generally seen above gound, they may also show up on tree roots - obviously only exposed when trees are blown over or are removed from the ground.

Great set of B&W images Aguinaldo.
