Map or Leaf?

Leaf detail

Sunday 8th March 2015

Found in our front garden, a very decayed leaf from a tree. It was a whole skeleton and was probably from a cherry tree. The more I looked at it, the more fascinating it became. The 'skin' of the leaf was still visible in places and what about the veins, were they complete? A closer inspection and it took on an appearance of a city street map taken from space. Parts of the leaf were broken at the edges, so I picked out a piece and photographed it against a black background.
