Broke, but not broken

This old tree succumbed to either age or a lightning strike, and though it's clearly broken and just about doubled over, it still supports new growth. Amazing.

  6. Nice shot and fit for the theme. And good eye that you spotted it amongst the rest of the growth. Odd things happen within the realm of nature. This tree is just a prime example. Lovely frame for the greenery and river beyond. I'd keep an eye on it from year to year and see how it progresses.
