I used to think that my old neighbor’s Washingtonia Robusta was a
nightmare tree. Anything that wakes you
up with a start more than once or twice can start to torment you and that
cursed tree would wake me up whenever the wind would blow. Those fronds are large and heavy and would
sound like someone jumping onto the roof.
But I have new perspective on what truly constitutes a
nightmare tree, courtesy of photographer Elido Turco who uses a mirror to create these images. Take a gander at his Flickr album of 200+
pictures of trees guaranteed to make you take a closer look at those old trees
you thought were simply lovely before. Now you know they're really just waiting for you to fall asleep before they do their unspeakable deeds.

Looking at the way trees surround each other and strangle their neighbors and those faces, I may never watch the Wizard of Oz again. Spooky!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, I will never look at trees in the same way again. I always enjoy the trunks and bark of trees but I have never seen anything like this.
