Glad you should ask Brett.

Yes I shall see something more wonderous than a tree: two
trees that have fallen in opposite directions.  Suppose
one is walking in an old growth forest and sees an uprooted
tree.  Surely the wind has taken it down.  But why two
in opposite directions?  I had an idea, which will need
to wait until this evening.
