Digger, subsumed by a tree

This digger has been parked here for a very long time, possibly even while Betws Anthracite mine was still working. Not only was the tree growing through it but the tires and other perishable items showed signs of great age. The picture was taken along a right of way that follows an old track that pre-dates the trackway that ran from the mine to the spoil heaps behind. The track to the spoil heaps is now silent and the mine rapidly turning into housing and industrial units.
