The old man of the woods

I went to check on one of my favourite trees today, 'The Old Man of Pinnick Wood', also known as the 'Illustrated Tree'. Old and gnarled, I always approach with trepidation, worried that he wont of survived the last storm and will be found humbled on the ground. Not so today though. A little the worse for wear as time takes its toll and the natural course of entropy marches on. Still, he's a wonder to behold, and time spent inspecting him is always worth while as his gnarled surfaces are a myriad of shapes and patterns it's easy to loose yourself in.
