Striking image of this dead tree. Just wondering whether it was burnt down to death with only one lightning or is it preserved for some other reason? Very nice capture!
I think the only reason they are preserving this tree is because it is the only one of its kind in The Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens.i will post the plague before this tree next which will explain everything about this tree.
Great shot
What a tragedy! It is sad to think the tree won't be replaced in another 20 to 30 years.
I like the way the former trees, now poles, lend support to their own... Excellent shot.
Back in the seventies. we had a TV series here called Follyfoot farm, the theme tune came right in my head :)...Great capture my friend. Down in the meadow where the wind blows free, in the middle of a field stands a lightning tree. It's limbs all torn from the day it was born for the tree was born in a thunderstorm. CHORUS Grow, grow, the lightning tree, it's never too late for you and me; Grow, grow, the lightning tree, never give in too easily. Down in the meadow where the wind blows light, the lightning struck in the middle of the night. Limbs stripped bare by the lightning flare the lightning flare was a wild affair. CHORUS Down in the meadow where the wind blows cold, the lightning tree stands stiff and old. Branches bent when the lightning rent the lightning rent from the firmament. CHORUS Down in the meadow with the wind in the west, the lightning tree faced up to the test. Its heart went snap when it took the rap, the terrible rap of the thunder clap. CHORUS Down in the meadow when the wind blows free, a whispering breeze in the lightning tree. Dreams come true if you want them to if you want them to, then it's up to you. CHORUS (2X)
