These macro shots show a cut off tree trunk weathering in place. I believe it's a cedar, but don't quote me on that.

Ironically, dead trees are essential for the health and variety of the forest. I read that trees even pass on nutrients to younger trees just before they die. Nature is mysterious.
There is a documentary about the secret life of trees ... it is mind-blowing stuff, and then when you consider the relationships betwen them and the local fungi ... there's a lot more going on out there than we will ever know!
That's what I thought too. At times, it looked like a small city made of wood, but that effect was difficult to capture in the photo.
Yes, I agree with the city part. Nature is always very creative and interesting.
Wood weathers just like rock does ...water and living things growing into them ... it's just a lot faster with wood!
I used microscope mode in the camera, and it captured nice details of that trunk about 100 feet off the ground.
