Ancient Wood Art

November 13, 2019November 13, 2019 by Larry Harrell Fotoware

Who knows what kind of history this former tree has seen? What caused the wood to grow like that? I love finding art in nature.

Enjoy!

  My guess that it was a large diameter lodgepole pine. Being in a sunny spot, the log decays very slowly at the 8000 foot elevation near Tuolumne Meadows. Heavy snow can do weird things to lodgepole pines.

Recommended Comment Considerations

When commenting, please consider the three doors that charitable speech must pass through. The gatekeeper at the door asks, "Is it true?" The second gatekeeper asks, "Is it helpful?" The third gatekeeper asks, "Is it kind?" (adapted from the writings of Krishnamurti by James Martin on p. 169 of his book "Between Heaven and Mirth.)

Purpose

We intend to provide a forum where different academic communities (social, physical and biological disciplines, law, policy), agency employees and retirees, students and the general public can come together to share perspectives on national forest management and planning.
