The Most Colourful Tree on Earth (via:willw2)
“the up to 70-m tall tree also shines in the colours of the rainbow: its bark can take on a yellow, green, orange and even purple shading!
The unusual phenomenon is caused by patches of bark shedding at different times. The different colours are therefore indicators of the age of the bark: Freshlyshed outer bark will reveal the bright green inner bark. This darkens over time and changes from blue to purple and then reaches orange and maroon tones.”
Those Trees
Those trees, those giant trees
That locked branches with each other
Once lined either sides of the road
Those trees, those noisy trees
We were ‘shit’ scared to walk under
Homed a crowd of cackling birds
Those trees that dripped water
Long after the rain stopped
Those trees that hid the sun even in summer
Those trees that seemed to
Have stood there forever
Those trees that seemed like
They would stand there forever
Are gone now.
They were sawn across their trunks
And dug out from their roots
Leaving no trace of them
Except in memories.
Well they had to go
To make way to a flyover
There was no choice you know?
(not for them atleast).
