Very moody.

I found some of those pods on the sidewalk a few months ago and shot them for a challenge (which didn't do well at all). When I was researching it then, I was finding people calling it a Liquid Amber tree.

Definitely odd! And a nifty find.

They tell me this is a sweetgum tree. Or maybe a sycamore tree. The spikey seed pods take gold spray paint very well & look kind of interesting on a Christmas wreath. I love the way they stay on the tree & how they look against a stormy sky. No photo can quite capture that feeling as I look up at them, or down at them amongst the leaves, but this is a very close second! Love that stormy sky!

I'll go with the it looks like an etching comment. How wide is this tree? It must be massive.

Looking at it from a distance, its in the shape of a flower. If you drew a line around the outside of the branches it would have petal like shapes. The branches are like the veins of the petals with the rest removed. (my imagination taking over)
Lovely tree and background.
Does the liquid amber tree flower?
