Ancient Kauri staircase

New Zealand has marvellous huge trees called Kauri. Remarkably, preserved ancient Kauri stumps have been found in swamp water. This is the top level of a spiral staircase carved entirely within a giant preserved (45-50,000 years) tree stump. To give an idea of the size, the carved stump extends to the light area at the lower left. I suggest viewing the PiPs for more images.

Happy Fence Friday and have a great weekend, everyone.
