Even as the tree trunk decays, it does it with a sense of order. The moss could care less.

Can you imagine the stories this tree could tell...

This tree trunk is slowly rotting, but with such clever designs.

UNESCO Site

The Ferreres Aqueduct (Catalan: Aqüeducte de les Ferreres [əkwəˈðuktə ðə ləs fəˈrɛɾəs]), also known as the Pont del Diable ([ˈpɔn(d) dəl diˈabːlə]; English: "Devil's Bridge"), is an ancient bridge, part of one of the Roman aqueducts that supplied water to the ancient city of Tarraco, today Tarragona in Catalonia, Spain. The bridge is located 4 km north of the city and is part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Tarraco (listed as a UNESCO's World Heritage Site since 2000).

Description

The Tarraco aqueduct took water from the Francolí river, 15 km north of Tarragona. It probably dates from the time of the emperor Augustus.

Les Ferreres Aqueduct is composed of two levels of arches: the upper section has 25 arches, and the lower one has 11. All arches have the same diameter of 20 Roman feet (5.9m) with a variation of 15 cm. The distance between centres of the pillars is 26 Roman feet (7.95m).[1][2] It has a maximum height of 27 metres (89 ft) and a length of 249 metres (817 ft), including the ends where the specus (water channel) runs atop a wall.

This is a headstone in a local cemetary. It's carved stone. Beautiful!

Not sure what this is on the tree trunk, but it looks like it can move.

On the ever-popular "impress Your Date" Day, this guy managed to climb to the top of the resurrected tree trunk in Highland Park in his stocking feet. (See lower picture). I didn't see him go up, but I think it's safe to say that he had more trouble coming down than going up. He required some assistance from his buddy. (Again, see lower picture)

This is not my photo, nor even my creation, but how funny is this!
