Douglas downed

Aw, what a bummer, man; sadly the mighty Douglas Fir that I featured in my post of the 6th of February has joined the hallowed ranks of the fallen. My heart sunk as I approached a familiar parcel of woodland and new immediately which tree had succumbed to Storm Eunice; what a shame. The once towering Fir's shattered and ripped trunk is evidence of the power of the elements; the forces involved in causing that sort of damage are something else; what must it have been like when it went; I'm sure it put up a heroic stand, defiant to the end.
