Continual Growth (Homestead)

This fence has been in place for 65+ years. While walking the fence rows I found this section where a tree was growing around the barbed wire.
Part of my "Life On A Hoosier Homestead" series.

    thanks for the props Lee! Pretty easy to find this with a weekend spent repairing fencing and cleaning out the fence rows! Just never thought of capturing it til now!

    I like the composition and texture of this. Somehow the tree seems to have a very weathered human quality to it.

    Great shot. Shows the power of nature to overcome the things made by humans.

    Thank you all for thee comments; very much appreciated & good feedback to use for future photos; note: though girdled trees is never something fun to see, I don't consider this one girdled as much as I do signs of being there for generations, but I feel you raise a good point in the way this could impact some upon viewing, so thank you for that!
