For the tree lovers...

A few pictures from last weekend. There is a forest about 100 kms away from here where you can find lots of huge, old trees. Most of them are dying, but still spectacular. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Some real old monsters there. Must be a great place to visit.

OOH! Right, i am loading the truck and saw's as we speak, just got to drive to Sctland, pick up Goatboy and we should be with you by the morning! Just kidding, we would probably just pick up a few bits of deadfall, light a fire camp and talk rubbish!

Nice photos.Bit too nice to fell and log up.

Hi

Some great photos mate, where is it ?
I live in the South of Germany

 

[Turnstone]

It's quite in the middle, between Kassel and Hofgeismar. It's called Urwald Sababurg, you can find information about it on google. It's the oldest nature reserve in Hessen.

@Ivan... before you jump into the car please note that most of those trees are hollow and have almost no branches anymore. I guess it would end up with lots of hard work for a small pile of half rotten wood

Wow, some great pictures here!

I especially like the second one.

I love old forests, there is some quite ethereal about them, especially in the early mornings as the sun starts to rise. Nice photos thanks for sharing them

Magnificent photos and majestic old trees. Thank you for sharing them.

People forget how important to an ecosystem the older dead or dying trees are - as well as being magnificent to look at of course

Briliant photos - thank you!

Stunning ..

Keep coming back to this every time it pops up
Would be stunning to spend a night amongst those beasts especially watching them at night by firelight.

Would not fancy camping too close to one of those mind as just one of those limbs would mean splat..
