Sorry, a bit dark and my camera is playing up, but this is beginning to be one of my favorite trees.

I second that. Can we have a pic with better lighting, Mike.

Looks like a trunk with a lot of character, natural branches and good ramification developing.

I’d love to see a clearer pic.

Mike you could try using auto ISO, that might allow the camera to "see" better?
