Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera January 1st 2009. Click image for larger view.
When I was walking in the forest I came across a Norwegian Spruce (Picea abies) tree that was broken and I liked the view with the trunk looking at the fallen tree. It seems like a strong wind had passed through the forest and snapped the tree in two. There was several trees in that area that had been toppled over some years ago (the vegetation had started to grow back) so it was a cool area to explore.
I had to climb up some trees to get this picture and I almost fell down several times ;). I think the broken tree picture got somewhat of a dark, eerie feeling to it. What do you think?

Sad to see big tree cut down
This photo makes a stark contrast between nature and man power
Fantastic shot, look like a dead giant
I don’t think I have any spruce trees here. They are very nice though.
That’s taken from a very nice angle 🙂 It just shows that even the biggest creatures fall eventually.

A fallen tree is always a sad sight.
