not sure of the story behind this one, was driving near city hall and saw this tree had been outfitted with a genuine knit sweater. knitting it is one thing but mounting the sweater on the branches had to be quite a task.
addendum:
Sculpture in the Heights is an exhibition of 8 works by Ohio sculptors at a venue not traditionally associated with art: a mile-long “ring road” at Severance Towne Centre.
Tree Cozy by Carol Hummel
Hummel has crocheted a cozy for a tree in front of Cleveland Heights City Hall at Severance Town Centre. It is made of brightly colored nylon and synthetic material that will weather the Northern Ohio climate for the two-year term of the exhibition without impeding the growth of the tree or harming wildlife.
For the past two years, Hummel has been working with crocheted yarn as a metaphorical sculptural material. This project involves covering a tree-a natural object representing masculinity and strength-with a cozy-an emphatically handmade blanket representing femininity and comfort.
Scale, color, and material are utilized to create a sculpture that is experienced physically while opening the door for psychological, emotional, and/or intellectual contemplation. It can be interpreted on a variety of levels.
On the most obvious level, it is a piece of clothing, personifying the tree and keeping it cozy and colorful throughout the year, enhancing the beauty of nature as well as the landscape of Northern Ohio.
On another level, the brightly colored crocheted cozy wraps the tree in personal and cultural nostalgia evoking memories of bygone times and places when life was good.
On yet another level, the cozy softens the strong tree form while also emphasizing it. It is meant to simultaneously caress and encase the tree. The cozy covering the tree fluctuates between comforting blanket and suffocating cover-up; it conceals as much as it protects; it hides as much as it reveals.
Hummel, who obtained her MFA in sculpture in 2004 from Kent State University, has an eclectic background educationally and professionally as a photographer, journalist, editor, and owner of a construction company.

When the sun gets drops behind the mountains, the feel and focus of an area seems to change quickly. As the valley begins to fill with shade, the wonderful golden light and bright blue hues give way to more muted colours, creating the opportunity to direct the viewers attention. Sometimes the mountains create a spotlight for you to play with. Or, well, that's the theory.
On the other hand, I just really love those blue green tones and back lit trees.

Wind statement during a misty daybreak at the Sintra forest. Framed centered composition to take the best advantage of motion blur on the foreground foliage. I wish I could add sound to this image, but most times I completely forget the movie feature of modern cameras.
This year, a forest of perfectly trimmed trees; next year, the perfect Christmas Tree to stand in a decorated living room.
I do not much care for the tree tradition, I enjoy the beauty of this baby Christmas Tree forest wearing fluffy new snow on their branches as they slowly grow in the cold of winter.

Winter trees are so beautiful. This one is along a busy road, and it has only been on a Sunday morning that I have dared stop to take some pics. There was a nice pre-sunrise sky, which quickly went.
This beautiful old tree instantly reminded me of the magical tree in Enid Blyton's series of books, which had homes for little beings / creatures in the trunk, and where the spreading branches at the top of the tree held a different magical land each day - you had to be careful not to linger too long or you would be trapped when the land moved on, and have to stay there until it came back to the tree again.

January 2022, a feeling of optimism as the worst of the pandemic was receding.....what could go wrong ????
Not quite the sunrise shot I had planned on this morning but the heavy snow in the strong wind moved in quickly. I could have packed up and headed back early but instead had great fun shooting the blowing snow against the dark trees experimenting with shutter speeds. I had about 60 shots from the morning, this was probably my favourite !
