Banded

This stump is on the abandoned property next door. The tree was banded with metal at some point while it was still alive ( For what reason I don't know) and the tree grew around it. For Gloriously Rusty Tuesday

Makes me want to reach into the shot and touch it...rub my hands on the grain. :)

[Lisa]

cool find! I missed out on GRT this week.

[Alexander]

Ooohh, my heart saddened when I saw this. Poor tree. I had to angle grind one of the giant Pines here free from an industrial ladder that had been placed against it and it had grown around. It can breathe easy again now, without any weeping.

great POV, looks like the tree is eating the metal band, like something out of some fantasy movie
