A cemetery of old oaks.

First bike trip this year. At first, it was supposed to be short and easy. It was different. I saw a lot of fallen trees on the road. These are old oak trees. They had been growing here for 200-300 years and were beautiful. We have had a drought for several years and the groundwater level has significantly decreased. These beautiful trees are withering. They die standing until a strong wind comes and blows them over.

How sad and tragic to read this! Being oak, I wonder if a carpenter might scavenge them and build something beautiful...

[Heather]

I really like your pov for this shot to capture the fallen trees and the forest beyond! But how sad! Poor nature is crying for help! Fav

Superb choice of POV.

[Boxplayer]

Ah sounds so sad, they will at least now be a home for moss and fungi

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That happens in our woods as well- wet or dry ground and a strong wind, and nature prunes itself. But, our trees are not as old. Good shot.

Great textures and I like your pov.

[Kathy]

These do look like corpses. I think trees here are also failing. One fell on the minister's vehicle while we were in church last Sunday.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice textures and pov
