This old Yew tree (Taxus baccata) was perched on a rocky overhang. Although it's roots definately penetrate the rock, and will cause cracks susceptible to freeze-thaw action, and the angular jointing of the rock (including the underside of one bedding plane) is well portrayed, I also added it because I'm very happy with the way the picture came out! I must have been having one of my Arty moments again.
