This post, as you have read, was a spontaneous reaction to the best thing I had seen in Auckland in the whole of a two day visit. Such a pity.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-36307835854182847472012-03-13T10:46:07.249+13:002012-03-13T10:46:07.249+13:00Who chopped down the Eucalyptus Trees on Wellesley...Who chopped down the Eucalyptus Trees on Wellesley Street.

I know I sometimes think "oh, that would make a good little post!" I'm impressed that you got down on your knees in a busy street!<br />YP - yes, cities are not places where my genes feel 'at home'.<br />Dijea - thank you. The tree is probably not as big as it may have grown in the wilderness of Australia. Then again, we have a better tree-growing rainfall here...<br /><br />Everyone, I'm sorry at the lateness of these replies to your comments. Somehow this post's comments eluded me. Thank you for them!<br /><br />Anon - your comment today is a little confusing. Do you mean you feel there were more eucalyptus trees in Auckland in the past (I don't think so, they are not NZ natives), or has this one been chopped down since I did this post? (I sincerely hope not!)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-60663153626933808412012-03-12T16:04:13.810+13:002012-03-12T16:04:13.810+13:00Who chopped them all down?????????Who chopped them all down?????????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-21873049609391153702010-05-29T13:28:16.757+12:002010-05-29T13:28:16.757+12:00Gorgeous shots!

Well spotted! All that inorganic fabrication - the glass, the steel, the sharp edges, the natureless wilderness of the cityscape, it's not how human beings were meant to pass their days. Our very DNA was partly shaped by all those preceding millennia in which our relationship with nature was vivid and unavoidable.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-4801045713111780602010-05-28T19:17:56.930+12:002010-05-28T19:17:56.930+12:00I loved the creases in the wood.

Must look more closely.<br /><br />One of the really important things that blogging has done for me is make me look at my environment every minute of the day. I can understand how you felt ;hugging' the tree. I've been caught in a busy street on my knees photographing the pavement - well that's what it looked like until you got down there and discovered the world I was actually photographing.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-16612427204518818852010-05-28T19:04:54.251+12:002010-05-28T19:04:54.251+12:00I love looking at trees too.
