Torn Asunder Tree, Aylesford

It was such a beautiful morning today that I just had to get up early to take some shots for my Valley In Between project. This tree seemed to have been torn asunder but I was unsure whether it was by the torrential rain we had on Monday or if it had been struck by lightening - whatever it was it certainly made for a dramatic sight and the early morning light only enhanced the situation.
The extra is a shot of the detritus and waste I often spot while photographing my project.
