New Life for an Old Tree

When I saw this old tree it surprised me that it was so much bigger than the windmill. Also, when one looks at the hill behind they can get an idea of the size of the tree. If it had its full height yet, it would tower above all the other trees around it. Something about the scene grabbed my attention and held it. I was taken with the contrast between the new growth on the right side of the tree and the old dead looking trunk on the left.

Youth is beautiful but the old has character, don't you think?

Interesting scene! I can see why recorded it. Looks like a very old Big Leaf Maple. They don’t do well in open windy places. Might be a relic from the forest that may have once protected it.

It’s seen a lot! Must have many tales to tell! Maybe lightning hit it? Or it came back after a forest fire?
