Gestures of Love
I found this patch of Aspen trees in Colorado with some romantic gestures of love as couples carved their initials and the date of their visit.
Aspen trees can live up to 100 years so these marks could quite possibly be there for sometime. I wouldn’t have thought twice about the effects on doing this years ago but I decided to look it up before I posted it the image.
I did find this when researching about tree carvings, "cutting into trees can lead to disturbing of the tree’s flow of nutrients that it needs to survive. Below the layer of bark there are cells in the tree that help the tree grow and stay healthy, and destruction of those cells could harm the tree.”
How do you feel on carving into trees?
As always thank you for viewing my work and taking the time to comment or like it.
