It had a spreading, gnarled look to it, too. Beautiful pictures, Mel. :) That tree kind of reminds me of a Banyan tree I saw in Hawaii. It had a spreading, gnarled look to it, too.

The big turret reminds me of a jousting lance. I wonder where the gate to nowhere went when it still went somewhere? ;) I love big old trees! I have seen black locust trees before, but they were quite young compared to this one. This is a beautiful old tree, and I am glad it is well protected. :) Interesting castle.

The city I was born in has this old tree, and by now it consists more of repairs than actual tree..... @ Lynnette:
