Very Strange Branch


Very Strange Branch

This clump of old Aspen seems to have sprouted a light! :-) This is along the cross country tracks at the Birch Hill Rec. area. I think its been there a long, long time.

This light does work. I think the tree comsumed all the remains of the power source. I felt a bit like I was in wonderland looking at it. No sense at all. :-) These are competition cross country tracks and since we haven't much sunlight, the lights are to illuminate the events. This is the only one sprouting from a tree.

Umm, errr, i must be having a bit of a dense moment ..... how does the light work ?
Do you mean that there's wiring inside the tree trunk ?

Yes it does Holly. :-)

That is my guess Louise. There is no sign of anything connected to it. Could be wireless, but it looks a bit to old for that. I think it was strapped up to the tree and the tree grew around it. These aspen grow quickly and all of them are one plant in the grove, so they can take a lot.

Thanks. I love Quaky Aspen. The sort here get soo large and I've noticed these are the last to drop their leaves. Beauties even with lamps hung within them. :-)
