Occasionally Nature will give you a view that, well, looks like something other than what it is.
Imagine seeing this “tree” coming out of a field on a gray foggy night. This thing has an otherworldly flavor and I’d no doubt run if I saw it coming.
dead tree
Creepy black and white with no head
Imagine seeing this moving across your yard at 3AM…
I had driven past this snag for years and always wanted a photo. There was no space to pull over. However, a couple of days ago my son was driving, he slowed down letting me snap the picture. I think B&W treatment is appropriate.
I’ve never seen a tree like this before
At first from a distance I thought it might be a very large monument in the Arlington East Hill Cemetery. As we walked through the grounds and got closer it looked somehow like a huge tree.
Looks like a very tall monument
Getting closer it looks more like a dead tree
Close up you can for sure see it is a huge dead tree. The outside surface is very smooth in parts, and it certainly looks like layers twisted tightly around the trunk of the tree. Never seen anything like this. One side has a rather swirled layered look as well.
Looks like twisted layers. Looks rather weird.
The open trunk lower down is very interesting.
Not a common look on a tree trunk
Another view, also uncommon in a tree
This is one of the strangest trees I have ever seen. It started out looking like a large monument in the cemetery. And the closer you got the more you saw the tree. And the details were even more not tree like it seems. Wish I knew what species of tree this is/was. It is located in the Arlington East Hill Cemetery near Arlington, Indiana.
