Old trees are wonderful. They may take on many unexpected and and individual shapes... just like humans.
This very tree is rooted in Sri Lanka.
Questa quercia (credo un cerro) è stata trovata da mio padre nei pressi di Spoltore (provincia di Pescara, Abruzzo). Come si può vedere nella foto che posto in basso la dimensione (circonferenza) del suo tronco è notevole e supera tranquillamente in 4 metri. Tuttavia gran parte della sua chioma è completamente mancante. Non so cosa sia successo. L'unica cosa che posso pensare è che in seguito ad episodi di maltempo con vento forte si sia spezzata (è posta in posizione isolata al bordo di un campo). Tuttavia come si vede, i rami rimanenti sembrano vegetare tranquillamente. Attorno non c'è alcuna traccia della porzione rotta.
Foto leggermente ritagliata rispetto alla originale per bilanciare meglio la composizione.

This oak (I think a Turkey oak) has been found by my father near the town of Spoltore (Pescara province, Abruzzo region, Italy). As you can se in the picture posted below, its trunk girth is remarkable and exceeds easily 4 meters. However as you can see a very large part of its foliage is completely missing. I don't know what happened to it. The only thing I can think of is that it broke as a consequence of bad weather with high winds (it's located in an isolated position at the edge of a field). However as you can see, the remaining branches seems to vegetate with no problem. Around I did not see any remains of its broken portion.
The picture has been slightly cropped to better balance the composition.

A picture I composed out of two exposures from this scene. One for the light parts of the sky and one for the dark parts of the tree and hill. You can also view this capture on black (see link below)

It was a frustrating week but I made time to get this shot. It was a nice sunset but I was stuck in town. I figured I'd think simple.
Originally split at the tree base, 1/2 of it decided to part ways, probably quite a few years ago. We are on Franktown Road in Washoe Valley, Nevada. The remaining trunk is an estimated 10' in diameter, and it tapers off rapidly, another distinct feature.
