Have a seat! WC 670

I'm always amazed at the resiliency of living things when challenged by their environment. This birch tree was knocked down, but not out, and serves as a living bench for weary hikers in CT's Meshomasic SF.
Powershot SX-1, ISO 80, 1/60, f/3.2, fixed zoom at about 24mm. Cropped from the right to remove backpack and hiking pole. Tweaked contrast and sharpened a bit. Comments and suggestions always welcome and thanks for viewing.

This is a great look at a "fallen" tree making a strong recovery, Jim. The fall colors in the background add lots of warmth to this show of resilience.

Yes - I'm always touched by trees doing this sort of thing. You have captured its desire to live very nicely! :toast:
