I need a photo of a tree damaged by lightning or wind but still standing. This photo will be the background for a project I am working on as a gift to a friend. He wrote a poem about such a tree and I would like to use the tree as the background and his poem as the foreground. So if anyone has such a photo and would upload it I would be very grateful.

you would have more luck if you did a google image search for
"tree damaged by lightning"
there are many pages of good examples for you to choose from.

You may have already found one, but these are just some I found. Don't know if they're what you're looking for, but I hope one of them works.
