The city can be tough on trees. This one casts a great shadow but the tree itself doesn't look so hot.

It's amazing how trees can grow around their own injuries, like sold liquid.

o I'm heartbroken! for their confinement, these native captives...
inspired by their defiance

sad in a way, but also very cool. the one where the chain fence has just been melted through is amazing...tree chi... this strikes me as less cruel than 'bred' trees where willow is introduced to make another kind oftree 'weep' - you can see struggle in those trees, whereas here it is more life despite, and a kind of acceptance.

Yes, and there is definitely some kind of message being transmitted about the symbiotic relationship between healing and going slow and time.

elaine: amen to that

Peter: 1st Aug 2005 - 14:01 GMT

Fantastic photos! I've never seen anything similar! Sad but strangely uplifting - survival of the fittest, I guess.

dave: 3rd Oct 2007 - 19:05 GMT

"sold liquid" - I guess you mean "solid liquid"? Great post, though.

GGP: 3rd Oct 2007 - 22:39 GMT
