We saw lots of fallen and decaying trees on our last walk. This was the stump of a large tree that had been broken off about 2 feet above the ground. I don't know when it happened, or how it happened, but the interior wood did not look like it had been exposed for that long.
Great colour tones and textures! Without reading your description, Joanne, I thought this was an aerial shot overlooking a mountain range! Could be. Fav
