OK challengers - your topic this week is to capture anything that branches. The more interesting the pattern the better. It may mean braving the weather and there may be some with access to the strange seasonal habit of erecting trees inside - but anything that has branches would suit. No excuses, failed uploads this week please!

Well, I'm in with what has to qualify as my worst image yet - but entering anyway just to keep in the spirit of things.
Handheld with a camera phone which can (but didn't, for some reason) record in Raw, this image is poor quality because I've had to work from the Jpeg and didn't have the benefit of a tripod - not that I'd have felt safe using a tripod in the middle of a railway crossing!!! But at least you get the idea.
If time had been on my side I would have gone back for another try but hey ho.
