Standing strong in death


This tree corpse stands at the main junction in Fontainebleau State Park, across the Lake (Pontchartrain) from New Orleans.  It was a favorite place to go for a childhood weekend fun time.  Linda and I drove through there the other day, so to reminisce.   It was amazing the damage done by Hurricane Katrina.  I am sure that Hurricanes Rita, Gustav and Ike did a lot of tree snapping, too.
The tree was soaking its few hanging strands of Spanish Moss in the last stray beams of sunlight gliding in from the lake

The tree is a survivor! Like all residents of New Orleans.

The swirl on the trunk is beautiful, defiant even in death.
