 this is a close up of a Scribbly gum tree .. :)
The best shots didn’t show much of the scribbles unfortunately ..

"These zig-zag tracks or 'scribbles' are made by the moth grub as it tunnels between the old and new bark. Every year when the tree sheds the old bark, new markings are revealed. The scribbly gum generally grows to 15m and produces white flowers in summer, attracting native Australian birds such as honeyeaters."

About the Scribbly gum

After rollover
Very surprised and happy how this went ..
Was nearly not going to enter it ..
but the original jpeg looked like a piece of art .. so I did ..
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments ..

I'm not sure I see what you do in this, but I see a dragon viewed from above. Probably a tree with some of the bark stripped off.

Looks like the bark of these amazing eucalyptus spp they have in Australia. Can't remember the name "rainbow eucalyptus"? - Something like that.
