Crucifixion
I don't know if these are roots or some sort of creeper or very thick bind-weed but the way they have attached themselves to the Tree had an immediate impact on me.
It reminded me of the lines from one of Liam Weldon's great songs which championed the cause of Irish Travellers called, The Blue Tar Road.
"But the man above who died for love,
aye and nailed unto a tree,
sure wasn't he a Traveller,
the same as you and me?
Hunger, Hardship and Poverty,
are the Traveller's weary load,
Hunger, Hardship and Poverty,
and the Blue Tar Road"
