Found a patch of Old Growth I never knew about but had passed by many times. Being among these giants you can feel something special. Hope they stay protected.
@skykiss don't forget #ThickTrunkTuesday !!
Passed this today, on another lovely long walk..
An old oak that has set up home in an older lime kiln, built into the slope of Cregiau Eglwyseg to produce material for local agricultural needs, out of the lime from the local quarries. In the front there is an arched stoke hole for the furnace
Manchmal muss man einfach losgehen ...
trotz starkem kaltem Wind.
Denn je später der Nachmittag, desto schöner die Wolken und zumindest am Anfang wärmte die Sonne.

Gnarly old tree often seen while walking. Think it's an Oak. Several nice old oaks and black walnuts on either side of the road here
dieser baum heut sah aus, als sei ihm die rinde wie ein lockerer strumpf heruntergerutscht
Rather a sad picture for #ThickTrunkTuesday but just shows the strength of the winter storms. On my walk last Friday I saw many fallen trees in the upland valleys - it looked like the winds had been funnelled. Most lifted at the roots but this one (oak?) was shattered. Maybe it already had a weakness, I don’t know.
The sun is out, the air is warm, April has begun, and the buds are opening on our pear trees...
