A Pagan tree?


Image

I took this photo Friday evening. When I got home and uploaded it, the tree just talks to me as something that would go good here.

it has a Pagan personality.

I should think most trees are Pagan, by definition? emoticon That's a nice gnarly one.

Pooks- You're probably right. But this looks as if it could be an extra in an Harry Potter Movie emoticon

I was amazed at how the tree is so powerful in this photo.

I'm betting that that tree was struck by lightening at some time in the past. You often get scars like that from the electricity burning down the trunk into the ground.

Very cool tree.

Re: A Pagan tree?


What a neat old tree!! My first thought was that it had grown around something...a thick vine, or possibly some fencing, a long time ago.

I've noticed around here there are some trees that are all gnarled and twisted like that, and if you look hard, you can see pieces of barbed wire, or what looks like an odd branch that is really a piece of thick grape or smoke vine that had wrapped around it when it was a sapling, and when both grow together, things literally get twisted up.
I'd not thought about lightning hitting it! emoticon

Fenyx...thanks for sharing this. It's an awesome old tree!!!
