Day 147 - a Year by the Sea

May 27, 2007 by OrientSee.

In one of the many thickets in the marsh, there stands this impressive Celtic column. Eerily carved and standing nearly ten feet high, it is a sight. Of course, it’s a dead tree covered with fungus but it does look the result of an ancient druidic rite. Some trees in Belle Isle are actually not very strong and a storm driven wind will snap off the tree not at the bottom but half way up. There are plenty of these strewn through the thickets but few are so ornamented by fungus as this one is. It is a dark arresting vision. Another stranger face of nature.

Ciao!
