Thompson River
McArthur Island
Though this tree is most certainly dead, I find a strange beauty in it. I'm no tree doctor, but I believe that this tree fell victim to a blight that affected many trees in BC from 2000 - 2015. The mountain pine beetle bores in through the bark then feeds on the phloem, the living tissue inside the trunk.
