My guess would be peeling layers of paint on a wall. Although, that figure on the right, sure looks like a ghost.

I'm thinking it is the bark on a tree.

fun game!

Peeling paint?

My husband thinks it is peeling paint. I have no idea, but I like looking at it.

Tree bark, I say. If you look closely, you can see a ghost chasing a little boy with a backpack! :)

Elise - You do a lot of cloud watching, don't you? :p

It definitely looks like peeling paint to me.
Thanks for sharing.
Sorry I am sooo late.

Okay, for those of you anxiously awaiting my final answer... This is a picture I took one day while walking through a meadow. I saw two trees with the most interesting looking bark. The trees were not far from a small brook. I wish I had taken pictures of the entire tree to get a better idea of what kind of tree it was. I wasn't thinking of identifying the tree at that moment, though. I was too interested in the bark's photographic potential. Ah, well... Does anyone out there recognize this bark?

Definitely tree bark--we have the same tree in front of my house. Maybe a kind of maple?
If I remember I'll tell you.

Scrolling through the Nature Blogroll - I like your site. Before reading the (half) answer...I guessed bark of a sycamore tree, perhaps eucalyptus with all those colors...
