Broken Oak #11184

The Story

This eerie broken oak tree, struck repeatedly by lightning, is ideal for setting a spooky atmosphere. All that is left is a shattered trunk and only one besnaggled branch surviving. Perfectly suited for a scary Halloween!

This broken oak tree has been standing at this road intersection for a long time. In fact, so long that one of the roads is named Broken Oak Road for this unusual landmark.
