Wow ......

Such Talent .....!!

Done with a Chain Saw .

The tallest tree in Wales had been damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down ...

but chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke found a better solution to symbolize the tree's last attempt to reach the sky.

That's amazing!

I guess in several tens of thousand of years, someone will dig it up in the sand and think,
Gee they must have been a handy generation of humans!

Great pic
