WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: 410 - Gnarled

Uh, Tim.. That is so gnarly that it needs no discussion! ..

Steve, beautiful gnarled oak, and one gnarly rock!

Richard, I love your gnarly weather pic!

Barbara, great shot. Very gnarly indeed!

Tim, definitely gnarly. The add is also very funny.

Steve, beautifully gnarly tree and rock.

I think it qualifies Levina. I believe Gnarly is most defined in one's mind. Good one.

Thanks, Terry. I love your reasoning!

Way cool dude.. Or ... Gnarly Dude

Oh god. Another blunder? I meant it in the nicest possible way!

After all the comments about definitions of gnarled I feel much better. I've been trying to redo the wool thing, but really, those loose things you buy in the shop are sooo not photogenic. I put a pic behind it, so it would be more cheerful but not much I could do with those things. Look here:

My wife and I were discussing the definition(s) of this week's theme when we walked past this sign and she said: "Now that's gnarly. My wife is never wrong. So it must be gnarly...

That's great, made me laugh!

This is a section of an Oak board we removed from an old barn on the farm and converted into a hat rack.

This last photo is of a rock located in our chimney.The crevices were caused from many years of water erosion while other rocks we picked up from the creek are smooth as glass.

What beautiful wood and that erosion is really cool.

I tried all sorts of things and in the end totally lost it. That's when I came up with a pic of a little village rising up from behind gnarly grey mountains... Oh and look (no not you, OhLook) there's also a gnarly tree in the village!

I'm having so much fun with this.

Those are great, Levina.

Barbara, Terry, Steve, Levina--all excellent choices of subjects. Very gnarly.

Tim, I don't even want to think about it.

With the loose interpretations this week, I believe that the following qualify as gnarled, in some sense or other.

1. Reinforcing rods at a construction site.

My gnarly means gross.

This is a section of a transmission we pulled off a truck today.
I'd say it's one gnarly looking transmission.

Those fit the theme nicely, OhLook. I like the tubers.

Tim, I would never argue with a wife...ANY wife, so gnarly it is....and I don't have to know much French to agree! Both the picture and the ad are truly gnarly!

All Thumbs Up Stina and Oh!
Very Gnarly !!

Levina:
Love your wool gnarls...specially the first one! That arrangement of wool is particularly pleasing to a student of things gnarly!

OhLook;
Bundles of re-bar certainly qualify as gnarly in my mind...just handling that stuff can be tough on the body and soul!

As for those tubers...I hope they didn't escape....they look positively mean!

Stina:
Tell your husband I think his boots are way cool!

All good gnarly stuff folks! Isn't it amazing how ideas can develop and take form!

Holy Smokes, this thread got really Gnarly today. Every last post is just great. So much to see. You got to love it. And good comeback Levina. You are Gnarly for sure now.

Wool and needles in my hands would definitely be more than slightly gnarly.

It absolutely makes sense. Another misinterpretation from me, I'm afraid. I had just said to you that you are "way cool" and then you almost immediately after say "way cool dude" to Richard, so I naturally concluded that my "way cool" had something to do with that.

Truly, this is the thread of misinterpretations and blunders for me...
