Growth rings of a tree
Growth rings of a tree. Cross-section through a tree trunk showing annual growth rings. Growth rings are visible in a cross-section of a tree trunk after the tree has been felled. Rings are the result of differing rates of growth throughout the seasons of the year. One ring marks one year in the life of the tree. The more rings the tree has, the older it is

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate growth rings of a tree, providing us with a glimpse into its remarkable life story. The cross-section of a felled tree trunk reveals annual growth rings that serve as indicators of the tree's age and development. Each ring represents one year in the life of the tree, displaying varying rates of growth throughout different seasons. As we observe these circular patterns, we are reminded of nature's ability to document time itself. The more rings present on the trunk, the older and wiser this magnificent specimen is. This particular photograph captures an enchanting moment in British botany, offering insight into the rich flora found within the United Kingdom. The radial arrangement of these concentric circles tells tales about environmental conditions and biological processes that have shaped this arboreal marvel over time. It serves as a testament to resilience and adaptation as it stands tall amidst its surroundings. Through this image, we gain appreciation for both biology and arboriculture while recognizing how trees silently witness history unfold around them. These growth rings symbolize not only age but also strength, endurance, and wisdom accumulated through years gone by. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this stunning representation of natural beauty without mentioning any commercial use intentions - allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in contemplation about our environment's wonders.
