Description
This ancient beech tree is in the woods behind the bus depot in Falmouth, Massachusetts, USA.
The picture was taken August 8, 2016, with a Canon T4i and a Tamron 90 mm macro lens.
I used NikPro to enhance the image and give it an air of mystery.

These are magnificent, old, and wonderful trees - great for climbing if you're a kid! Thanks so much, Doris:>)

And mystery it has! I love the way the branches begin at the ground....and what a shape they make as they twirl around the trunk. Amazing. F/L++

Isn't it fun to really look at it and see the way it grows! We used to call the "Elephant Trees" when we were kids - who knows why - but there are larger than this around:>) http://highfieldhallandgardens.org/visit-highfield/gardens-of-highfield/ Beech-Tree-Path In 2012, Historic Highfield installed the Beech Tree Path. This path meanders below the main parking area, allowing access to the heritage Beech trees planted by the Beebe family. The path also takes visitors past the location where an impressive greenhouse once stood. The greenhouse, abandoned and decayed, was documented and dismantled in 2006.
