Notes on BROKEN TREE, Hafod, Pontrhydygroes, Ceredigion 2012

A tree struck by lightning a few years ago, downstream on the Hafod estate. The trunk is split almost perfect in half, horizontally, reveals the slowly worn interior and lifeforce of the tree. A simple exposure showing the trunk, the collapsed section (which mysteriously lays behind the untouched half of the trunk) and some low sunlight sprinkling brightly on the river Ystywth in the background. A simple but pleasing image.
