Who leaves these messages for me? At least someone still writes letters.

A closeup of the rotting trunk of a fallen pine tree. Almost all of the bark has fallen off, exposing the smooth, light-colored inner wood. A pattern of shallow grooves is cut into the surface. They look like ideograms or heiroglyphs. A roughly rectangular patch of the surface is covered with a rust-colored powder, making the lighter grooves more obvious.
