WC #334 - Fence eating tree

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted June 7, 20081,437 views4 comments

I posted a similar photo some time back. It was kinda neat until it started pullling my fence off the ground. Actually I cut the tree but left the fence eating trunk attached. I nailed a pie pan to the top to make a bird feeder.

Little do we realize how powerful vines and trees are until they encroach upon other pieces of property such as your fence.

Nice posting Charlie and it certainly fits the theme.

Nice picture, Charlie, It really does look like a mouth eating the fence rail, with a wry smile.

Nice image that makes me think :)

One day, that fence will be taken over for good. Just like any other human element that we now take for granted. Even the largest city will one day not be recognisable anymore because the rest of the community of life will find a way to take over once our grasp loosens or disappears. I actually rather like that idea :)
