Image Description

I came across this a couple days ago while walking in the forest in Central Oregon. I thought it looked like some kind of mythical creature emerging from the forest.

Hi Chris,

Fantastic! Your image is so untethered from the normal conventions of landscape photography that it’s actually brilliant.

@russ_carpenter Thank you very much!

Hi Chris,

I noticed that you live in Eugene. We lived on the McKenzie River (Goodpasture Road) in a log house for 23 years. A wonderful chapter in our lives.

Chris, this strikes me as a mythical long bearded, octapus like creature that lives in the ocean (maybe from a Disney movie???).

Chris: What a great find and a fine capture. There is a lot of puzzlement for me regarding what this was originally. The sawed off branch is a real head scratcher. Good eye. >=))>

It did look like walrus tusks on the head to me. Not sure about the rest of the creature.

It was definitely a deformed tree of some sort, but it is a puzzle for sure.
