Dead stump of a tree

I love this photo. It is actually a nice, flourishing tree but someone tried to murder it by pouring diesel on the root so that the tree doesn't pose a danger to his car. Blardy hell, the management merely prune the tree because it was really growing too big and there is indeed risk of uprooting during storm. But some guy decided that it is better off dead and took the liberty to handle it himself.

Now, this poor tree look so sad and lonely, without any leaves and no life.
