rarmstrong 0 Posted February 27, 2008 I see a lot of these where I live and it only means that the future is indeed looking dim. Usually they are yellow, red or blue. Does white mean something else? Dick Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 27, 2008 This was on a large urban lot, and I am sure that the X is placed there to tell the tree cutters which ones to take out. From the looks of things there weren't going to be many trees left on the lot. Sad, considering the trees looked very healthy and mature, and all the blighted lots with dilapidated structures and piles of junk that could have been developed without doing so much ecological damage. But man has dominion over the world, and dominance seems to mean destruction all too often. I now leave my soapbox for the evening. Thanks for looking. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted February 27, 2008 The X'ed trees and your treatment of the entire scene has the feeling of a fairytale. Only a gallant knight or an ecological Robin Hood could save these unfortunates now. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted February 27, 2008 I wonder what is the P? (maybe you have written the P as a reminder ?....or just not forget to cut it down ?.... Joking...) It is sad indeed the beautiful trees cutting. I appreciate your observation (in the other works of yours as well) uploading a reminder to all of us,as cutting the trees is a damage and serious future for our evironment. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 27, 2008 Our lives are indeed a fairy tale. Not a damn bit of truth to it at all. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 27, 2008 I painted the "p" on there in your honor. LOL Interesting point about why. Also not the second "X" on the two right hand trees. Guess they thought there was some danger the first would be overlooked? Thanks for you comment. Truly appreciated. I like the way you and I bring such diverse subject matter from such far away and different places together. Link to comment
timkeller 0 Posted February 27, 2008 This one does make a statement and is valuable for that. Behind the trees, that looks like a building standing there, but the colors and lines suggest a tennis court down below...a bit of optical illusion going on either way. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted February 27, 2008 Well, not the fairytales they fed us in school. Those are the illusions societies dole out to their people to keep the herd moving in the same direction. Life, I've found, is a dis-illusioning process and quite rightly so. But in real fairytale you can find truth, sure enough Link to comment
alight 0 Posted February 28, 2008 this is not a giant game of tic-tac-toe? Well, if the trees are very old and dying, or sick, then there is no tragedy in them coming down. Who knows, new ones might be planted there in return. Oh, wait, I decoded the first tree - it means "pee here". Cheers, Micheal Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks. It took me awhile to see the "tennis court" effect, but now I see what you mean. Thanks for coming by. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 28, 2008 The trees looked just great. I'm pretty sure that they have just decided to develop the tract. I should have known you would crack the code. And that might explain the chipped bark. Link to comment
jcpopper 0 Posted February 28, 2008 So well seen, Dave, and so damned sad. Another well-aimed shot, in more ways than one. Warm regards... Link to comment
