That is one awesome tree, and places like that have to be done, lol ( even if you only do them once , they stay with you a lifetime)

That is the most incredible tree I think I have ever seen. Wow!

I would have dodged all those pole looking things and climbed into that tree! What are those poles there for anyways?

The tree of dreams awesome. He is beautiful my friend ty for shaing.

Hey Chica - the poles are there to help stop the tree collapsing under its own weight. If you were nearly a thousand years old, you'd probably need a bit of support too!

I have seen a photo where all the poles and cables have been Photoshopped out, and I did consider doing that here, but some sort of supports have been in place for the last 100 years so I think they're becoming an integral part of the tree.

Oh I couldn't agree with you more, the poles need to stay, I think they add that much more to the photo, before I clicked on the thumbnail I was under the assumption it was a part of the tree!
