Caged nature HFF
As I took this photo I began to wonder if because of the way we are treating all of nature now, there may come a time when the only way to see trees is in a spotlit cage. There is a very disturbing poem by Alan Brownjohn called 'We're going to see the rabbit,' where people in the future go to see the very last rabbit in existence. When I think of loss of habitat, I wonder if when all the animals are gone we shall have to do this for plants too. Maybe our Botanical gardens and arboreti are a way of doing this already.
