This old tree near the Frederick airport came down recently, probably felled by age, winds, disease and trimming all the branches on the one side of the tree.
I joined the Header Challenge team in November. We post a new header each week on a suggested theme. Imac is the founder and head of the team. The members vote for best header and the winner gets the gold. The links above will take you to the other participants.

Great shot. There is something very elegant about the way that trees fall down after years of wear.
Have a great weekend!

I am always interested in fallen trees as well. I guess all that trimming was because of it being close to a road or power lines?
Yup i'd say that's ruined!
What a strange and gnarly tree. And a ruined one.
I did Photo Hunt today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit and leave your link!

Have a great weekend!
such great textures one finds in old wood.
It's sorry to see a ruined tree, but I guess it's nature's way of recycling. I invite you to come see my ruins in the bush of Coastal BC. -- Margy
That was a big one, too.
