wood

Does the “collaboration” of man and nature equal art?  I’ve got to wonder when I notice things like this little oddity.  I’m not sure what happened here, but growths from this tree stump appear to have wound their way through the chain link fence in a spiral fashion.  Bits and pieces have obviously been cut away and the tree itself has died, but it left behind this intriguing little sculpture of wood and metal. It sure looks like a piece of art to me!
