Uwe, it's a seasonal process, it is regrown during the colder months.
Jesito, it was taken with the 50 - 500mm.
These trees grow straight and tall and in the old days were used for ships masts, in coastal locations. When I lived near Melbourne, close to the southern coast, a road on the edge of our town had the name "Mast Gully Road".
In scrutinizing the light on this image...well...it's FULL of light! Very very nice.
We have similar "shedding" trees here, Pacific Madrona (Arbutus menziesii), and they can be great subjects for showcasing the sharpness of a lens and camera combination, which is definitely showing in this image.
There are also Alaska Yellow Cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) which show this sort of "stripping" element of the tree bark.
It is very interesting to see these images Jim. I love to see what other continents are like.
