Tree Tuesday — Does it count if someone carved the tree into a replica of the Statue of Liberty?

One chilly Saturday afternoon I was minding my own business driving down the highway when fate decided it was a good time to kill my usually trusty Subaru's fuel pump and force me to hitch a tow truck ride to an auto shop in the city of Goodland, Kansas.

While waiting for a mechanic to fix my car and tell me how much fate was going to cost me that day, I went a-wanderin' around town in search of whatever it was that fate wanted me to find.

I found it at the intersection of 15th and Broadway:

Yep, that's an approximately 1:17 scale model of the Statue of Liberty carved from the trunk of a tree. Thanks, fate. #treetuesday
