Most of you know what an Ent is,
from the Tolkien trilogy
I do a lot of hiking here in the PNW
and as such I go to a lot of unusual places,
in virtually mythological deep forest and high mountains.
Often, natural spirits abound and the older Trees
will talk to you.
Most are quite friendly,
but sometimes you run into a fierce Ent.
This one is about a 700 year old Cedar Ent
near Mt Baker, my avatar.

and so Nature reveals an imposing and scary spirit within the Cedar Ent,
with the reverse coloration image.
This may seem to be a fearsome and even a diabolical figure of darkness,
but on the contrary,
the Ent merely reflects the Absolute Fierceness of Nature itself,
and still exists in absolute symbiosis with the Forest creatures and plants,
and stands like a Forest God in all presences.
