There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
Matt - Another 6 and here's some info 0n 12. What’s now visible is due to a 1973 project regarding growth and tree spacing. At the time, the area was used for ‘experimental forestry’ with one experiment that saw researchers planting trees in 10 degree radial increments to form 10 concentric circles. The results show trees growing in a convex shape, fanning out into the forest and suggesting that tree density does indeed affect growth. The original plan called for the trees to be harvested in 5 years, but officials are now considering saving the circular forest.
Wow! You keep topping yourself man!
ReplyDeleteToo many trees would be barely enough.
ReplyDeleteCloudia - THe internet just keeps leading me to the good stuff.

ReplyDeleteBill - For different reasons obviously.

Kathy - That's EXACTLY what I was thinking last night when it dawned on me that it was tree time again.
You manage to find the most beautifully creepy photos around.

The tree sculptures are very cool.
ReplyDeleteLady - Yes they are. The internet sent several of them to me.
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful. I love #6 and #14 reminds me of the windblown trees on Rottnest Island off the coast of Fremantle WA.
ReplyDeleteRiver - 14 is an interesting one.
ReplyDelete5, 13 and 20 are my favourites!
