Florissant Tree

One last post from Florissant for Skywatch Friday, this time a non-fossilized tree. The spiral pattern down the bark means it was struck by lightning sometime in the past, a very common sight in this part of the world where thunderstorms can be a daily occurrence in the summer.

    Why is it that a bare tree draws our attention and makes such a great shot. Cool.

    Very interesting!
    I have never seen lightning scars on trees in a spiral like that. Here they come straight down the trunk. Some trees survive, some don't.
    Have a great week-end!
