I saw it first thing. Was it that prominent in reality?

It's easy to imagine how the ancients believed in tree spirits.

I should have added that the photograph was taken in woods within Wimbledon Common in South West London. That's the same Wimbledon Common where the Wombles live (if you're British and of a certain age) and the same Wimbledon where the annual Lawn Tennis tournament takes place.

I think this could be classed as a real "Tree huger"!!

Carl - I'm sure that's Uncle Bulgaria!

Great shot, saw it right away, but do prefer the colour version.

I agree the color version give more details, but I think the black and white version give a more spookiness to this "tree-huger"

I wouldn't want to be the one to cut that tree down. Nice find.
