Road Closed

Posted by Earnest (Oklahoma, United States) on 15 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is a view of what happened to many of the trees in the crosstimbers after a rather large winter ice accumulation. This abandoned highway leads to a local lake. These limbs (mostly willows in this case) came down after being overloaded with ice. All trees were affected and for three days or so, the forest sounded as if there were cannons going off every few seconds as limbs broke and old trees fell. I'll never forget it. It was quite fun navigating this old road...

I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!
