Woodland Throne

Posted on January 3, 2012 by

I stumbled upon this throne carved out of a tree in Annisquam.  Has anyone ever seen this before, know who carved it, or how long it has been there?  I envision a forest gnome king holding court there at night surrounded by tree nymphs.

About E.J.

Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer. Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.

    Hi Anita, It is actually along the edge of the pasture leading down to Annisquam Beach. You wouldn’t be able to see it from the river. I’ve walked by it hundreds of times and had never noticed it before.

    I don’t know, Anita. I was hoping some longtime Squammer might know and write in about it. Then again, maybe I’m the only one who sees a forest gnome king’s throne and no one else has ever noticed it.
