Over the weekend, I've been visiting the property where I grew up (for the most part). This is the last home that I shared with my parents and siblings. The house is abandoned and falling down, now only inhabited by porcupines and who knows what else. That is where I found this tree in the yard. I remember that this chain was put around the tree about thirty years ago, although I don't remember the padlock. I assume that the horizontal split across the tree is from the chain being wrapped around it for so many years. Now, like me, it is forever a part of this place. ~~~Memories are like chains rattling around in my head, getting heavier all the time.

Wow!! That is an impressive image my Friend. I really like this and the angle and focus of all of this cool texture and color. A thought provoking render.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
I suppose that the tree was growing and the chain pulling it back and therefore the split. Good find and a nice capture of something that brings back memories.

I wonder if anyone still has the key? LOL. Very interesting shot, Tina...love the textures in the bark.

Our integrity sells for so little, but it's all we really have. It's the very last inch of us, within that inch, we are free. -V
Great shot, Tina. I love the colors and the textures as well as the chain and lock.
Memories are something that can't be taken away.
Great camera work.

Wonderful shot Tina, I feel bad for the poor tree having to grow over that rusty chain. Excellent detail and textures

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
So what's the story with the chain? Did your dad or someone put it there, or was it always there as a child?
