The hollow one

Dotted throughout the forest, nature, forestry and human agency have conspired to create numerous woodland sculptures. Burley Old has many of these 'sculptures'. Take this hollow stump which has lain here for years, way over 20 years, I can't even remember it not being here. It was once a mighty tree, I'd say it must have fallen many many years ago, as the bulk of the trunk was removed, and they haven't removed any fallen wood from Burley Old in an age now. Although long slighted, truncated and completely hollow, this huge stump feels solid, and it maintains it's structural integrity. Over the years I'd noticed the remains of the roots slowly disappearing, now they've all but gone. I only ever remember it being hollow and assume it must have been so whilst still standing, it's big enough to get into, you'd probably be able to sleep in it. Now there's an idea.
