Shattered

Forests are living breathing entities, they bring life and support life. In my part of the world dense, lush evergreen forests are just part of life.

You go up running through them, playing in them. Watching them grow and be cut down. You imagine those strong ancient trees being around forever and then something happens and those trees are gone in a instant.

While returning from a hike up a local mountain, the wind was screaming through the trees, we knew we had to get back to the truck because the storm was dropping in on use and the forest at a crazy fast rate. Suddenly there was a gust of wind, a loud bone chilling pop and crack, then more cracking and a stunning thud. Only a few meters from us this old grow evergreen came crashing down. No warning, no nothing. It was something I will never forget, the scene of broken branches, other trees and the destruction down the path and hillside was intense.

The power of nature is something to respect and behold.

Thanks for reading.

Beautiful photography..!

This is great, you really can not afford to mess with nature, nature is so powerful and yet so amazingly beautiful. Look at how that tree trunk got ripped apart. Love you mother nature.

Certainly, the strength of nature is usually incredible. Each tree takes many years to grow, so just knock them down the hand of God.

So cool to stumble upon interesting moments like this while doing something you've done so many times. Nice photo and glad you weren't near it when it fell!

Great photos thanks for sharing

Nice shot and amazing scene with the forrest colors

What an angle...the looming forest trees seems to be eerily imposing over the hacked and menacing stump. Love the contracts of the green forestry against the orange belly of the exposed wood.

Forest has a big help for the living organism as well as animals who live there freely that's why we should take good care of our forest thank you @scottdphoto for giving us informative post
