Description

This sort of tree is very prone to splitting and many have suffered in the gales. Left to themselves the branches will often root into the ground which here is a bog or carr. The Upper Pleasure gardens at Coy Pond. See a wider view Here and a rather interesting message to a fallen Chestnut Here

It really has a wounded look with that reddish color where the split is.

I had to do a double-take; Juanita Park has one that recently split and looks just exactly like this one! There are many there that have spread out low and long, sending out roots and making themselves into quite a tangled creation. Wonderful capture!

Much better cropped as a close up. Nice detail. That does look like a fearsome wound. Sad about the chestnut but a wonderful dedication.

A fantastic illustration and our pleasant land is going to look a whole lot different when Spring comes again.

Sterling POV, depth, tracery, tree, branches, peat moss, and a myriad of dead bog stuff in this spectacular mood picture, Andrea.

A fine capture, too many tree's are coming down in these gales, some round here have fallen across roads in and out of the village and closed the road off for hours on end... let us hope this weather ceases soon.. too much rain and gales are softening roots and blowing some down.

I like the combination of vines and moss to bring life to a dying tree - even if the tree recovers in places and springs back into life!

I'm almost afraid to go out to the Hollow for fear of the trees we may have lost. We were there breifly a few weeks ago, and nothing around the camper had been damaged. This is a wonderful image, sad for the willow though. One of my favorite trees near the camper is a huge willow. It lost a branch last year, the branch was like a 30 or 40 year old tree!!
