from the bottom to the top

At the top of the cut through, at the sharp bend in the steep bank, there is an old stump.
The stump protrudes out 6 feet from the bank, and 8 feet under its curved roots hangs nothing but thin air. The road has washed out from under it, leaving it a large, curved knee of a stump sculpture.

  On this day, we find bright moss and perky button mushrooms, sitting on the lap of this stump,

while directly underneath thin air icicles hang and drip...the knee is bleeding cold water!
