Dynamite Art Installation

Today was another very grey and uninspiring day so as you may be able to tell this is not a roadside art installation but an emergency blip by another name.
It's actually the base of a nearby road sign which was hit by a car a few months ago and has never been repaired - it's just been wrapped in warning tape and left askew. After Storm Eunice blew through someone then stuck this dislodged branch in the top and it looked like a bionic tree. 
Now that the branch has wilted I think that, in mono, it looks like a huge stick of dynamite where someone has just lit the fuse - but this probably just my overactive imagination! :-)
