Starting from the ground up, here are some pine tree roots. They often curl on the surface like this, as by sheer joy of decorating the ground, but the tree also always has a center root that goes straight and deep down. (Yes you _can_ have it all.) These beauties I encountered walking the Åsarna trail in Arjeplog, a very narrow, 5 km path straight out in lake Hornavan (Sweden's deepest lake). The trail passes by several bronze age settlements, and no wonder people always wanted to live here -- go check it out, and you'll get it. On the whole, I kinda fell for Arjeplog this time. Longing to go back.
