Description
When I worked in the woods, we called these "widowmakers". A tree that, for no apparent reason, just falls. No wind, no rain, no nothin'. Just down it comes. Over the years they've earned their name. This old alder has split another pair, they'll be down before too long. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

I always have this perputual argument about nature...is it chaos or is there some order to it? It's a perfect cycle dictated to by the seasons and elements and never, ever boring. So much is taken for granted now but nature will always win in the end. By the way...have a look at "Monolith" my latest upload...there's a surprise for you. DA

Good depth here. I think this background would be great for a portrait.

what goes up, eventually comes down & the process continues to replenish the soil... you have kind of a fractal going on here with all the branches, nice moss too... & better then alright :]

Very interesting the story of the widow maker. A lovely image too! Love the green of the moss and how it stands out against the orange of the split tree. Thank you for sharing! Redundant has a point, this would make a lovely backdrop for a portrait! :) Hugs

love the image...reminds me once again of Colorado. (it seems the only time they'd fall there was in the middle of the night when we were camping and the crack the breaking trunk made always woke me up. hehe)

Love the woods....Dont get to take enough walks in them lately though. Seems like I did much more when I was living in Pennsylvania.Very nice "woodsy" shot!

Thank god, none of them did hit you! Any idea on why they come down? Rotten roots, parasites or the like? Just age ... which will have all of us coming down one day? Anyways ... wonderful impression from over there. Thank you Jim!!
