We are still recovering from the ice storm in January. Much of the debris has been picked up by the city and county, but it will take the landscape a long time to recover. Many trees were lost, or so damaged they had to be cut down, making this photo a familiar sight. I was hoping to retake this today to try some different angles and positions, but it is very overcast and there has been a little snow and a little sleet, so I am just going ahead and posting this shot.

The fact that this has been clearly felled deliberately adds a certain sadness to the overall story. I am a sucker for this kind of picture anyhow and love the way you have caught the rings, at the point where there will be no more growth.
This looks like a very old tree :-( I think I heard somewhere that when the rings are far apart, the tree is older, but maybe that's my imagination.
