This Pine Tree in the Russian Village Never gives up…

I have watched the earth continue to be washed out from under this tree over the last 6 years and the tree has been surviving this onslaught for a very long time. The soil under the tree is almost gone. I am expecting one day to see the tree standing on roots alone and all the top soil gone from under it. It is over half way there and when I first started to watch this tree, it was only a quarter of the way eroded. The area under it is big enough that even I could crawl under there and hide…


This is the whole tree and yes it is still alive and healthy as you can see by the picture…

I call it survival…
