No, not _that_ Lord - [_Sith_ Lord](http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-12-09/sports/25182555_1_new-trail-redwood-national-park-hikers). I’m not sure how hard you have to squint to see unser vater in this tree. For sure, doesn’t appear as clearly as he did in the tree in that swamp with the little green dude in it. I can’t see the wheezy bastard at all, at all. ---

You have to huff a lot of paint first, then squint really tight to see it. Amazing. ---

Okay, looking at the pic, I can’t see more than an Impressionistic suggestion that it has anything to do with Sith Lords. I’d be interested in having a look at some of the trees surrounding it though. If they show icons suggesting various holidays such as Easter, Christmas, Halloween, &c., you might have found something significant. ---

No wait, it’s [Chewbacca](http://www.planetdan.net/blog/2005/07/huffin.htm). Still don’t see the novelty condom headed-one, though. Maybe I should use Rust-O-Leum. ---

I can see a camel’s neck and head in the tree. No camel toe though. ---
