Platanus is a genus comprising a small number of tree species native to the Northern Hemisphere. They are the sole living members of the family Platanaceae.
All members of Platanus are tall, reaching 30–50 m in height. All except for P. kerrii are deciduous, and most are found in riparian or other wetland habitats in the wild, though proving drought-tolerant in cultivation. The hybrid London Plane has proved particularly tolerant of urban conditions.
They are often known in English as planes or plane trees. Some North American species are called sycamores.

How do you manage trees that were planted in the 1960s as part of post-war housing development in the third decade of the 21st Millennium? With great care, dinosaur smoke and mankind’s great pursuit in conquest over nature.
The process being undertaken in these photos is what's called pollarding, where a trees limbs are removed entirely to encourage later dense growth within 1 to 2 years. Only certain species of trees can handle this brutal operation, like these London Plane trees here. Once a tree is pollarded, it has to be regularly maintained in 5-10 year operations.
Historically, wood harvested from this method would be used to feed livestock or for light timber, but these days, thanks to the infernal combustion engine, two operatives can pollard five trees in as many hours, with the tree limbs being quite violently mechanically separated and carted off to be used either as mulch or biofuel.
I find arboriculture rather fascinating; living amongst the trees in an urban environment, arborists have been a regular sight over the years, performing everything from whole tree clearings to dead wood pruning, I’ve seen them do a lot.
It’s a highly skilled profession with some of the most dangerous and violent tools possible in the workplace – Darwin Award nominees are quickly weeded out.
There is a strange beauty to the brutality of efficiency, especially towards articles of nature.
The destiny of Yuvarlakcay river and surrounding villages has been heard in Istanbul, the famous singer Leman Sam did come over to show her protest against HEPP and to support the villagers.
Caledonia waterfalls, is one of the highest water falls in Cyprus. It is located on Platres village in Troodos and the water fells from a height of 12 meters. It can be reached via a walking path.
Caledonia waterfall is surrounded by forest in a very beautiful area with breathtaking views. The trail is 3km long and can last up to 2 hours. It can also be divided into two parts, the first one which is the higher one that leads to the waterfalls and the second one which leads from the waterfall to Platres.
These trees must have been planted before the causeway was built for the road through the village, and the cafe area beside it.

The waters of the Manzanares River flow once again as a result of the ambitious plan to move the old M-30 motorway underground, creating over ten kilometres of pedestrian and cycling routes. These connect important land marks of the city alonf 7 km of the river such as Puente de Segovia and Puente de Toledo bridges, the Virgen del Puerto Chapel and new urban landmarks, like the Puente Monumental bridge in Arganzuela Park and the city beach. Madrid Río has opened up new spaces and incorporated existing areas into a project tackling three aspects of city life: the environment, leisure and sport. Its most outstanding achievement, however, is doing away with the barrier hindering communication between the two river banks, which separated one side of the city from the other. At the time these contraversial works between 2006 and 2011 were scoffed at for their pharaonic aspects. But the fransfoemation of the zone is now recognised as a truly positive move. The Madrid Rio Park has been awarded The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design from Harvard University.
