Rootsy in Alton


Nature is amazing, huh? Nothing new in that statement, but I was reminded of it during this walk near Alton Towers.

I felt I had to take a photo of this huge tree (100 feet high) which appears to be supporting itself even though the ground beneath half of it has fallen away. It is balancing itself by inserting huge and strong roots in... what looks to be sheer rock.

PS - sorry to have been away a while. My internet-access went down, which seems to happen more and more.
