Last winter I discovered a great place for shooting sunsets. There was a trinity of pines left after the forest was cut last year. I’ve calculated that the spot is suitable for shooting sunsets from late November to early January, so now I’ve just been waiting for the days to get shorter. Today when I was walking around, I came by this spot. And discovered to my horror that the three pines had become two - the third one was uprooted and lying dead on the ground. I guess the winds had been a bit harder than I gave them credit for.
I have a message for the forestry companies. It’s all fine and well to leave seed trees. But remember one thing - trees have discovered that there’s strength in numbers, so they prefer to grow in large groups. Also known as forests, actually.
Yes, been there, seen that. Sometimes, when you get used to something, it will be changed, destroyed or simply spoiled - just like the trees of yours.
