An unusual use for a tree

[sandspider]

Going through some old photos, and I came across these.

 

They were taken last year in Bergerac, in the grounds of Notre Dame Cathedral. There is a large tree there, I think a lime tree, though can't remember for sure now. It has been there for some 800 years, and seen a lot of life. So after dark, the cathedral projects light shows onto the tree of things that have happened in its lifetime. Rather pretty, and an unusual use of a tree, I thought. There was also a lot of fire in the tree's history -two world wars, and various lesser conflicts. Anyway, here are a few photos.
