Another dead tree

A tree which must have been brought down, in the Longmead Road, in the last day or so.

A tree which goes to show that the story that there is as much under a tree as there is over is definitely an urban myth. Nothing much under this one.

Unfortunately I did not think to examine the stump, but thinking about it now, it seems likely that it had been weakened by disease, despite the healthy enough appearance of the twigs. Thinking even more, there is a school nearby, but the other side of the stream, so perhaps there is nothing on this occasion for the ambulance chasers to get any traction on. See reference 1.

Not a bad shot, considering that the glare of the sun blotted out the viewfinder. I have noticed before that the Lumia is much better at dealing with too much light than too little.
