Pohutukawa Roots
Pohutukawa trees thrive in coastal environments, but with the sea views come exposure to wind and weather, and sea: cliff faces can collapse under trees, and water can undermine the shore as in this example at Cornwallis beach: wave action has carved into the soil, exposing life underneath.

This is a fantastic image Paul. My kind of tree. I love those trees in B&W. The forms, textures and tones of your photo are lovely.
