( Falcataria Moluccana )
Went to visit my old aged mom recently at Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia. At the back of her house was a large paddy field, where the farmers grew rice. As I walked with my seven years old daughter along the edge of the padi field we came across a tree with hundreds of its brown seed pods scattered on the ground. Most of them have popped open and twisted under the hot sun. The contrast between the darker outer skin and the lighter inner skin with a waxy sheen caught my attention. The darker shades in-between also adds texture to the visual. I combined 3 pods for this shot.
