The lighting was just right to capture the subtle turquoise of this ancient pile of rubble.
Although it almost looks like a rough section of stone wall - and these woods do have lots of walls that look very much like this - I can attest that this was a mass of naturally-placed rubble.
The mass would have been dumped here just as we see it 12,000 years ago when the last glaciation was melting
and all rubble suspended within the ice was slipping out and smashing it’s way downward.. breaking into pieces upon hitting the bedrock which itself had been under a massive gravitational crush for the duration of the glaciation period.
These guys are like gnomes that pop-up here and there... the ancient underside of a tree-trunk.
I named this guy “General Grant”.. had to be the single largest, widest, straightest tree I’ve seen so far. This is a Tulip Tree Liriodendron tulipifera.
The sides were utterly straight and true with maybe a 12-foot girth.. no remnants of old branches at all. The lowest branches had to be 70 feet up. I couldn’t even make-out the top of the tree.. but has to be over 100'.
