[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Montpellier Maple (Acer monspessulanum) is a species of maple native to the Mediterranean region from Morocco and Portugal in the west, to Turkey and Lebanon in the east, and north to the Jura Mountains in France and the Eifel in Germany.

It is a medium-sized deciduous tree or densely-branched shrub that grows to a height of 10-15 m (rarely to 20 m). The trunk is up to 75 cm diameter, with smooth, dark grey bark on young trees, becoming finely fissured on old trees. Among similar maples is most easily distinguished by its small three-lobed leaves, 3-6 cm long and 3-7 cm wide, glossy dark green, sometimes a bit leathery, and with a smooth margin, with a 2-5 cm petiole. The leaves fall very late in autumn, typically in November. The flowers are produced in spring, in pendulous, yellow to white corymbs 2-3 cm long. The samaras are 2-3 cm long with rounded nutlets.

Crec haber vist aquest arbre vàries vegades i el recordo de petit tamany; els seus fruits tb donen molt de joc al fotògraf.
Interesants colors típìcs de l'època, amb un acompanyament de llum esmorteida a joc.
Bona setmana Ferran.
