Beautiful, yes, but you know that's not how they grow, we prune them like that in this City, to let more light it so no one can hide in lush foliage, cause they do, the still agile homeless--a full leafed tree is good shelter for the night.
Yes Kaite--that's what she did to get up high enough past the others when they were all full--before the 'security' needs and 'security' lights came on the scene of all these little parks around town. Then the parks department cut the low branches (harder to climb) and thinned out all the lush foliage leaving tall twisty trees all over. The effect is kind of beautiful visually, but it's not what the tree had in mind. One can still find unaltered trees here and there--some in Central Park which is patrolled 24/7, and some in Van Cortland Park on the upper edge of the island, but you wouldn't want to go there at night. I'm back to 'what a world!'
"funny...i didn't see Her that way at all, and i think because mountain and desert trees are often in this configuration because of the work it is to grow, to maintain oneself during weather and also is economy for the tree... in places where economy is life sustaining November 11, 2011 "
Now that the day has calmed I see that all that work of deleting and copy pasting to another post was WRONG--It was ME who needed to be more careful. Well now everyone knows what the scattered Michelle is capable of--and I hope you're laughing with me as I return this post to it's rightful perch.
