Fossil tree at my Van Gogh digs
« on: July 10, 2017, 07:47:43 PM »

One of hundreds of trees buried 60+ mya, under about 300ft. of pyroclastic flow, basalt low, underwater slides, silt layers, ash fall layers, and what not. A lot are knocked down but this one stood for thousands to ??? hundreds of thousands of years preserved under water as it was buried by silt flows and underwater landslides. Large pieces litter the steep slope below as it erodes from where it was buried for so long






My offering to Mother Nature I found on my climb from far below; placed where it will stay for a while

the yellowy layer are fossilized trees that were felled by pyroclastic flows millions of years ago

Not showing for me either.  Did you reduce the size per forum guidelines?

Couldn't tell if you are posting images to a google site?  Not sure if maybe your browser has your login info cached and that's why you see the image and we don't ..   Very Wild Guess and probably not it but you never know - just thought I would throw out the idea of cached credientials.

Where are your images hosted?  There should be a link you can copy and past into your post so your pictures show up.

That tree is enormous! Amazing.

I'm not sure what the deal is with google photos. I am signed in to my google profile account whatever and can't see them either. I use google photos to sync off my phone, but I always have to download them and upload them elsewhere if I want to embed them in a post someplace.
