Location
The town of Burmis is long gone. However there is a tree close to the highway that (depending who you talk to) could be up to 700 years old. It is long dead and weathering the seasons with grace. It has actually fallen over, re-erected by the locals with some old iron anchors. Vandals cut one of it's main branches which was also re-attached with a visible brace (the only thing I photoshopped).Time
