Description

Remnants of the storm 'Lothar' are still visible in these woods. Imagine those powers needed to leave these traces in the forest! I'm glad I was not here when this happened, it must have been horrible hurricane. The open places in the forest will soon be filled with new life, filling the gaps where the sunlight reaches the forest-soil freely.

I really like the sharp details, like the texture of the leaves and the bark. Perfectly in focus!

Yes, it's horrifying what strong winds will do to the strongest of trees! Forceful and powerful, and your photo depicts it well..

Florida looked like that last winter. I have also seen scenes from avalances and tornadoes that exhibit what once was blamed on dragons and accounted to the head of the land.

Can remember Lothar very well. We have been in the Southern Blackforrest a few months after that storm and we have found lots of remnants... terrible! The power of nature has two faces.
