Comment on the Flick album Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis: Cupressus sempervirens is primarily a Mediterranean tree, although it is today much more broadly distributed as an ornamental. Its elegant canopies are a true visual symbol of the Mediterranean landscape. It was cultivated centuries ago for its beauty, elegance, and high-quality wood. Today, cultivated trees in urban and suburban areas greatly outnumber wild, native trees.
The species' taxonomy is complex and inconsistent, mainly due to centuries of cultivation. Many botanists consider Cupressus sempervirens to include several varieties. One of these is Cupressus sempervirens var. (some refer to it as fo.) horizontalis, which has a canopy that is not slender. Its branches grow from the trunk at roughly right angles, making the canopy much wider. Visually, from far, it bears little resemblance to the 'classic' pyramidal cypress (Cupressus sempervirens ssp. pyramidalis = Cupressus sempervirens ssp. stricta). However, some sources (Ref.: 1; Ref.: 4) consider these taxon names are synonyms of the species Cupressus sempervirens L. The accompanying photos are intended to show the variety Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis.
The wood of this tree is highly valued. The Bible already mentions its use in the Temple of Jerusalem; it was used in many Greek and Roman sanctuaries, and it was also used to make the 800-year-old doors of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The wood is exceptionally durable, fragrant, does not shrink, is dense and relatively heavy, yet easy to work with. A tree up to 30 meters tall with a diameter of up to 1 meter can live for up to 1.000 years. It is also called the tree of life and is a symbol of immortality.

Rajnagar mill, Ahmedabad, Gujarat is an abandoned mill since years which was open for public few months ago.
Ahmedabad was once called the ‘Manchester of the East’ due to the large number of textile mills in the city. Sadly, however, the ‘Manchester of the East’ fell into decline as the years went by and by the 1980s not only were the mills shut down but also lakhs of people lost their jobs! The entire industry was in disarray even as no remedial action was taken.
