A tree trunk shows healed damage surrounded by twisted, cracked bark.
A large tree trunk is seen up close with an oval of healed damage in the daytime. The thick bark grows around the oval opening while curving inward. The bark below the oval has created a thick single piece of twisted bark that has formed a wide V-shape, framing the oval from below. Inside the oval is the visible wood of the tree, a soft, cool brown tone with vertical striations. The bark surrounding the oval deformity is white on the exterior and black between the cracks. It has a formation that resembles mud when it dries and cracks into pieces. A patch of clustered pellitory grows in the bottom right corner of the image at the base of the trunk, with dead grass below. A small sprout of common mallow grows on the left-bottom corner of the image at the base of the trunk.
