Lightning-struck tree - between life and death

Lightning struck it, yet it still stands. The scorched tree towers over a sea of green ferns, with a blue sky and green hills behind it. The contrast between destruction and the life around it is striking.

✦ Lightning strikes trees with temperatures up to 30,000°C – 5 times hotter than the surface of the Sun
✦ Some trees survive a strike and continue to grow with scars
✦ In many cultures, a tree struck by lightning is considered sacred and powerful

Perfect for an office, study, or for lovers of wild nature and its power.
