I took a picture of this tree in Spring Forest cemetery in Binghamton, NY a couple of Sundays ago.
I don't know what kind of tree this is, but the way it is split open made it look so spooky. I can something that seems like a bowed figure in this cavity.
The fall background is a bonus.
Spring Forest cemetery in Binghamton, New York is one of many cemeteries I have visited over the years. I happen to enjoy cemeteries because of the plantings, the peacefulness, and the art of the gravestones. There's a lot of history in these cemeteries, too. Some prominent local people of the 1800's are buried here, along with a general who played a role in our Civil War Battle of Gettysburg.

Thank you for taking the time to photograph this and then share it. I'm spending entirely too much time saturated in print as a college teacher this semester. I need a nature walk asap! Thank you for encouraging me to do that.
ReplyDeleteOooh! That tree is awesome! It looks to me like something is trying to crawl out of it. Perfect for the season!
ReplyDeleteWe love cemeteries, too. Have visited quite a few. Soooo interesting. And peaceful!
It is a creepy tree for Halloween month! Cemeteries are interesting places to wander for just the reasons you give.
ReplyDeleteThat IS spooky
ReplyDeleteYour skill with photography finds its beginnings in the search. You find amazing subjects. Love this one.
ReplyDeleteSome trees just lend themselves to spooky stories, especially those that look split open like the one pictured. Good photo.
ReplyDeleteCemetaries are interesting places.
ReplyDelete,,,it looks like a maple and it's lucky to be standing.
ReplyDeleteThanks AM, this is a beautiful capture of a unigue kind of tree.

amazing tree
ReplyDeleteOooo, spooky awesomeness, Alana! That's the kind of photo that would make a great story prompt for a flash fiction piece. In fact, if my brain weren't so melted from...yeah, everything...lol... I'd give it a go.
ReplyDeleteAnd how cool that you're in the Northeast as well - we're practically neighbors (separated by a few states & more than a few hours drive...lol!).
True.. it seems like two arms reaching out from the depths of the tree! Fall foliage a big treat for me!!
ReplyDeleteThis is spooky for sure. I haven't seen a ton of cemeteries. In India, it's uncommon for people to visit one unless the need.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall foliage around. It's just so bright and beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Alana and I hope to see you around tomorrow.
