Description

the hole is big enough for an adult to standup in with room to spare but this tree still hangs on to life and refuses to give up. the opening is about 4' high and the tree is probably 6-7 feet in diameter at the bottom Canon rebel xt /19-35 tamron. I took this yesterday thanks for your time to visit and comment

Wow. It is fascinating. Amazing how some trees can grown in a rock cave or canyon clinging to life by one root. Thanks for sharing this. On my lousy monitor I cannot see the tree, just the rocks and a light. Seems a strange place for a tree to grow. The absolute wonder of nature. Excellent image. Thanks for sharing it. V

Fantastic capture my friend! I love the little mistball, solar flare, whatever it is. It could be a manifestation of the tree's energy (spirit), who knows? Sure is fun to ponder and wonder though! Thanks for posting it! Excellent photo Richard!
