Shapes on a Slice of Tree

This is a cross section of the very many tree trunks lying around our countryside at the moment, from storm-damaged trees made safe. It is always fascinating to look at the circles of the life of a tree, and in this case, you can also see the marks made by the chain saw when cutting through the trunk.
Wonderful capture of these neat shapes and textures. That must have been a huge trunk!

Well spotted. The saw lines give the feeling of movement

A lovely shot. But a pity there was so much damage with all that bad weather.

Made me think of a huge crop circle or the ice after an ice skater has been twirling.

Based on their annual ring, it could have been a tree more than 30 years old! It's a waste!

Wow what a storm huh? great shot.

Great shot - Peter would have been looking to take some home for the fire!

I wonder how many of us tried to count the rings? That is a mature tree but it seems sad but as long as they are replanting, trees are a crop too & we need cut wood for building etc. Ah just read storm damage……the same down here too.

Great shape and textures.

It almost looks like crop circles in a way- I'd be tempted to count the number of rings with such a clean cut. Excellent shot!

I like all the concentric circles and the extra curls.
