No, not a palm. Palms don't really have traditional trunks, more like odd broken off woody bits where the old fronds broke off/were trimmed. I'm not sure what this one is, I've only ever seen it as a piece of landscaping.
We had to cut a tree down in our front yard (it was so close it would touch the gutters with the tiniest bit of wind) and I refuse to get rid of the stump because it's just stunning, much like this one you've captured. This is a beautiful shot!

funny how a stump can be so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a piece of art!
ReplyDeleteTsk tsk.. i just hate how people destroy our mother nature.. unfortunately, this tree won't have many life lines like the others.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

What a very old beautiful tree. If it could talk, I'd want to hear its story. Thank you for stopping by my WW post.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday!!
Great shot. Even a stump shows the sheer beauty of nature. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteJust think... each ring represents one year of that tree's life. Was that a palm tree?

ReplyDeleteLovely! There's something truly amazing about and old tree trunk!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Imagine all the things that ol tree has seen!
ReplyDeleteGoing to explore your site, I'm fascinated that you are in Israel.
good title and shot
ReplyDeleteLots of life this tree has seen...so interesting to imagine it all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect title. And a very poignant photo when considered in the context of that title too.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting photo. The title really describes it. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteCool composition. I like the blurred grass in the corner, just adding a little burst of color to the scene.
ReplyDeleteBesides being cut down it looks like it had some other stress too. Love the pattern of the rings...
ReplyDeleteHave a good week Robin...
Beautiful Shot. It looks like a footprint, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looks so much like a fingerprint.
ReplyDeletehappy ww.
that's great. i costa rica, there is a lot of furniture made with that kind of tree look and it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW! Have you ever seen Hummingbird Babies?
Yeah, I wish they'd leave the trees alone. :(
ReplyDeleteGreat pic!
Wordless Wednesdays: Bike Race
You take the best photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo … perfect title ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Very creative title. Great shot. Almost like a footprint, leaving it's mark behind.
ReplyDeletehmmm i think i see 24 rings! old tree!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot more than 24 rings. Really old bristlecone pines out here in the western US live thousands of years.

ReplyDeleteI love the texture in this view. Beautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteI see hints of a shoe in the shape. If only this stump could talk about all its years on this planet.
