IMPRESSIVE TREE TRUNK.

in bwphotocontest •  7 years ago 

The twists and turns and textures of this impressive tree trunk have been carved out by nature creating a sculptured abstract appearance. Can you see the monkey sitting in the tree?

This is my first entry for the @daveks B&W Photo Contest. This week’s theme, "Nature Abstracts." You can enter 3 photos a week to this contest.

I do see the monkey! Good luck in the contest!

Thank you Keith. I’m very sorry to hear of your second solitary confinement. I have been spending some learning how to register in Discord and am trying not to get a headache. I want to send you another great link so will get onto that shortly.

Trudee, I've learned that it is very dependant on time of day. Right now I have 19mb of bandwidth. If I get up early (because my body now feels that 4 hours sleep is enough!)... so If I get online at 6 AM I have so little bandwidth I'm unable to follow someone or reply to a message or do anything really.

That's interesting Keith. I will have to sort out which is the best time of day or night is best for me. I'm a very slow recovering insomniac and although I don't sleep well I have to at least try and mend my body clock due to the damage caused by years of shift work.

Here is the link I was telling you about Keith. Happy Reading.

Sorry to hear about your insomnia. I got over 5 hours last night and I feel like a new man! Normally I get less... Very interesting reading in that article. I keep my voting power over 90%. When it's in the high 90's, it seems to reliably give 0.01, but when it gets down to say 92%, it may just give nothing... I'm still in such early days and have not yet received my first rewards... so yeah... I'm pretty broke ;)

Thank you for your kind words Keith. After 30 years of insomnia I've learned to live with it but I haven't learned to love it. I just checked my figures and my percentage is 99.77% I have only upvoted twice in 2 days and that was because it was a requirement for entry into contests. I've heard that a maximum of 8 votes a day is recommended. I have voted above that since I started and my percengtage stayed on 100% for ages. Voting is useless for myself and for others when it has no value. So patience is required in this area for me. How have you managed to get your percentage down to 90% ?

When I vote, my voting power decreases by 2% each time. My understanding is that 10 votes per day would be ideal, reducing your percentage from 100% to 80%, and that you will be back up to 100% power within 24 hrs. (Voting power takes 5 days to regenerate from 0% up to 100%, therefore 20% per day)

I just did the exercise Keith. I gave 4 or perhaps 5 upvotes and my percentage went down to 92.66% but my voting power is still zero. I don't know what we have to do to give them value but I guess we will find out soon. I want to do one more upvote so will zip over to your place and enjoy the view there.

Once you start to get some rewards paid you wont hit the limits. Also once you get to 500 SP, you get a vote slider that will really help!

Sure is a gnarly old tree!

Yes.......she ran out of anti-wrinkle cream years ago.
