A matchstick in a moment in time

One moment a tree, sturdy and eternal, yet only a breath away from the end in a fierce storm. The meaning of life is sometimes thin all of a sudden. But hey, just look at the raw power invested in breaking its wood. Wow.

Today I watched the "Plants" episode of BBC's Life series. I found it to be one of the most interesting episodes, contrary to expectation. Your photo reminded me of a 5,000 year old tree that was featured. It looked as if it was long dead, but it was alive. Posted 13 years ago

  A fast reply, if I ever saw one! Wow, a 5000 year old tree that still lived in a 'broken' state? Tough one. Posted 13 years ago
