Not a true giant, but a big tree none the less. This only hints at the desolation now surrounding it.
I took this shot towards the end of a 350 event I participated in.
It's a crop, and straining the limits of my compact digital camera. I didn't get any pics of the "350" figure we made with our bodies and orange cloth. It was someone else's day to go up the tree and take that picture.

Ecoregions represent large areas with geographically characteristic fauna, flora and climate - both marine and terrestrial. This graphic presents the ecoregion definitions identified by the World Wildlife Fund and associated experts, and specifically those ecoregions that have been designated as priority areas (Global 200 database) for conservation. This means that these ecoregions represent unique biodiversity characteristics, and also that there is a threat from human activities.

In this Oct. 1973 photo provided by the U.S. National Archives, participants check out the Exide Battery Sundancer, an early experimental electric car at the First Symposium on Low Pollution Power Systems Development in Ann Arbor, Mich. The photo is part of Documerica, an EPA project during the 1970s in which the agency hired dozens of freelance photographers to capture thousands of images related to the environment and everyday life in America. Modeled after Documerica, the agency has embarked on a massive effort to collect photographs from across the United States and around the world over the next year that depict everything from nature's beauty to humanity's impact, both good and bad.

South Africa Moves Towards Low Carbon Footprint Travel
CAPE TOWN , Dec 6, 2011 (IPS) - Counting on responsible travellers who increasingly seek environmentally friendly alternatives for their holidays, South Africa's tourism sector wants to conserve its biggest asset – nature – while fighting climate change at the same time.
This is a picture taken of a beautiful spacious but empty swimming pool which is ideally located on the compound of the Wellesley High Rise Apartments.
It is a crying shame that unfortunately the residents are not allowed to make effective use of this facility. Since residents live in such crowded apartments they should have easy access to outdoor facility which will serve to promote motor skills and encourage them to socialize in the outdoor location.
The pool is almost always deserted and the authorities should provide a resident life guard on site to ensure residents could use the pool under guided supervision.
The residents will be more than willing to enrol their children in swimming classes and pay a fee for the upkeep and maintenance of the facility which unfortunately is left unattended most of the year. What is the benefit of a facility that is not in proper condition for the people to enjoy? If the authorities are unable to provide the proper maintenance it should seek outside help from the office of the mayor or other charitable organizations to assist in the upkeep and efficient running of the facility.
