Pain

Ouch!
Did you know - tree people have to watch out for musket balls when they're felling old trees ...
blackdog: This is a few year ago - the wire has gone now, so I guess it is inside the tree somewhere waiting to ruin a chainsaw! We live near Edge Hill so I presume there are plenty of musket balls in the oaks around here! ;o)
You know, Mike, at certain level you image corresponds with my old post
http://nostalgia.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Zyrynology:_The_Rape_of_a_Young_Tree_/ It's always a painful experience to see trees in silent suffers.
blackdog: Had a look Viktor - we certainly interpreted the intervetion in similar ways, but as has been commented here today, trees have an amazing capacity to recover. I fact this one has completely swallowed the barbed wire since I took the photograph.
Wounds that never heal, but as you see, the tree keeps growing. Unlike you to have chosen colour. A potent symbol.

blackdog: Bit by bit the tree has plodded on and the barbed wire lost the battle. It is actually an old B&W with a tint - thought it helped. ;o)
Trees will grow scar tissue and swallow such things up.
Great tones and shadow work and awesome texture.
blackdog: Yes - taken a few years ago - it has vanished now and I guess it is deep inside somewhere! ;o)
Looks painful. But the tree is winning.
blackdog: The tree did win in the end - it is in our garden, and the wire a remnant of dyas as a working farm - but the wire has been burst and subsumed into the tree.
This hurts....I am always kind of mad when I see things like this.
You made this into a great picture, love the sun/shadow and the texture.
blackdog: Tree is fully recovered now - I think nature will always win in the end, whatever mankind does! ;o) Have a good week end ;o)
I guess the tree will still be there, wound and all, when we are long gone.
blackdog: A remnant of the days when our garden was farmland Bill. The tree had fully recovered and is there now and hopefully will be for years to come - especially as it holds up my hammock in the summer. ;o)
Oooh yes: powerful stuff Mike - very impressive!
blackdog: Thanks Chris
Very impressive capture Mike. Mother nature is so strong!
blackdog: Thanks Richard
I am always fascinated out the way trees seem to 'consume' metal that stands in the way of their growth.
blackdog: Just so long as they don't start walking ;o)
fabulous image Mike, love the tone/texture well the lot actually
blackdog: Thanks Tim - I like strong light, you can usually find something dramatic even in the most mundane if the light is right ;o)
I love the symbolism here, Mike, which Ingrid has mentioned--"wounds that never heal, but as you see, the tree keeps growing." It's very powerful, indeed.
blackdog: Chosen just for the symbolism Ginnie ;o)
A very good one mike... I hope the nature always, and in the long run, defeats us – the humans...
blackdog: Thank you Nauras - I am confident it will, and that's as it should be ;o)
