I'm glad its not my ankle! Poor tree - but they seem to survive!

[CC Folk]

A kinda sad and painful image. Powerful on a living tree! It has been able to survive through its consequences.

[Joan Robillard]

Ouch

Wenn I Looked at the photo it hurts me but nature is much strenger then we are. The photo is wonderful.

[Kathy]

The wire's evidently been there awhile. It looks like the tree has grown around it.

[Islandgirl]

Sad to see.............but great textures!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Poor tree looks tortured! But I've seen them grow around some of the most interesting objects so I'm sure it's not as bad as it looks. Good shot.

This picture has real impact - I look at the comments above and it's touched so many people

[bkb in the city]

Great shot

[David]

Poor constricted tree! Of course the trunks would have been much thinner when the wire was attached

[sarah]

What a great find

[Taffy]
