a closer inspection by the kenderman... (photo from talus)
The brown diagonal is our pollarded common alder tree.
Being the oldest tree in our garden it took the first hit and
had to deal with the full weight of the fallen tree!

It probably saved our barn from getting damaged.
Already we have a big pile of branches to despatch...

Only 1/3 of the fallen tree has been removed but the trunk laying on our alder
is still too heavy to remove. So we'll wait and see if time is on our side.
Hopefully evaporation is going to reduce the weight....
