Battered but not Broken .. Kerry Pierce

Detroit, MI, USA

This is another shot of my old oak. The scar you see was caused by a particularly nasty lightning strike that blew large chunks of bark as far as 40 feet away. The scar is still several inches wide and approx 30 feet long.

This tree shows a message of strength and endurance. I wish I have those qualities in me. Great shot and nice image. florg

Love the angle you take on this old tree. It shows off its age and its dignity. Ann C

Very nice shot. It shows much of the tree's character. Trees (unlike people) are not ashamed to show their age!
