Yes, many years; likely several hundred.

I was wondering the same thing the other day, while out walking.
This sculpture could hold its place in any museum.

I think it could too. My wife said she would love to have it at the house!
I wonder too about the tiny wildflowers that bloom in obscure places, and the many scenes in nature that exist only in brief moments of time. Somehow I’m not quite willing to admit that they are purely accidental.

Intriguing! I would pause seeing that in nature, for sure. Neat find and capture!

Had the light not been exactly as it was that day I may have completely missed it, but it seemed to stand out and ask to be seen.

Looks like the birds’ adventure playground that I wanted to make for them when I was in London!!

It would be great in a feeding area for birds in an urban area, wouldn’t it!

I am too. Constantly. Part of the allure, I think, is the simplicity.

Wild it is! Including myself, it has probably had one visitor this year.

I often like to think that. It really is a nice memorial to what once was a tall and very old tree. Anything that lives several hundred years deserves a memorial, and a nice one too.

That is fairly awesome! I’m sure the woodland creatures appreciate it, too.

I would think that the birds and a squirrel or two have spent some time using it as an observation structure.

Ha, well seen. I can’t help but thinking of a stump dressed up as an evergreen for Halloween, whose costume of moss is now falling apart.

Interesting thought. Corn fields certainly dress for Halloween, but I always think of the forests dressing for Christmas.

Great finding. I think that Mother Nature is one of the greatest artists in the world.
I love this photo very much. Here where I live in the South I cannot found them, but when travelling to the most Northern part then there are dead standing trees from pine wood.

Here there are many dead trees spread through the forests. They create some very interesting art works, many of them hundreds of years old.
