What a strange title you may think !. Well its like this you see. This fine tree is in the grounds of our local crematorium. What people are starting to do is lay the ashes at the base of the tree thus providing nutriment to it. They consider this place a better memorial to their loved ones rather than fork out for an expensive urn holder with a plaque on it and which everyone has difficulty in finding. Therefor this tree will always be part of the family and you certainly wont have a problem in finding this memorial. Ron.

Wow, now that's really a sight Ron. The unusual shape of the tree and it's so prolific, no wonder. Your writeup is extremely interesting and the entire scene is really quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing this one, it looks great full screen.
