ENT-ERESTING TREES- THE ISENGUARD - a photo on Flickriver

            (BEST VIEWED TREEMENDOUSLY LARGE)

"Trees are coming back to live here, old trees, wild trees. The Watchwood we will call it. Not a squirrel will go here, but I shall know of it. Leave it to Ents! Until seven times the years in which he tormented us have passed, we shall not tire of watching him."

Treebeard. 
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers 
By J.R.R Tolkien.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This magnificent ruin of a gum tree stands guard in the middle of a drained ornamental lake (the Australian drought, you know) in the Sir William Fry Reserve near the Westfield Southland Shopping Centre in Cheltenham, Melbourne, Victoria.

It reminds me of the aftermath of the Battle of Isengard in The Lord Of The Rings, where the Ents were tasked with standing watch over the steaming remains of Saruman's fortified camp and the Tower of Orthanc. 

Of course, in the Ent, they let Saruman go. I dunno, bloody trees, sometimes their bark is worse than their bite!

I took this picture in 2007, and the tree is still there in 2018.
