Our ponderosa pines grow quite tall, making them prime targets for lightning every summer when the storms arrive. This particular tree out at Granite Basin Lake bears a long scar. No, I've no idea how long ago the strike occurred. If they get enough water, our pines live long despite such injuries.

That is amazing......
windy -- there's an old pine in our neighborhood whose scar has been filled in with cement, but as chunks fall out, the birds move in, making it into an apartment house tree.
