Mono Monday - freestyle

I thought given the option of a freestyle mono image for the challenge, it would be good to do an IR version of our Simac tree as with the summer foliage it gives it that extra zing. This is our Rhus typhina Stag's Horn Sumac Tree which usually gets blipped later in the year when it ia s a blaze of autumn colours. Despite the oriental look of its trunk (positively bonsai shape) it actually hales from North America.
