I love the ends of cut logs. The smell too but that’s beyond the scope if this log to represent. A few images will have to suffice. Needless to say, this subject can produce endless permutations. Fun to work with.
I found this tree that had been cut down. The top of the tree looked normal, but at the base it was clear that it had taken a serious lightning strike at some point. Irresistible to get some shots of the beautiful grain.
