Cruel Cuts


Cruel Cuts, originally uploaded by OldOnliner.

Someone trimmed the awesome tree in Riverside Park. The beautifully shaped odd one, that everyone paints and photographs, along the bank, next to the tennis courts.

Trimmed and Butchered


Cut Off

Foreshortened

This is outrageous! How was this allowed to happen? Who thought this was a good idea? Couldn't someone have a put sign on it saying, "DO NOT TRIM"?

Also posted on Facebook. As seen before - reference photos:



Parks, Plein Air Painting and Public Art!

Do you think it's been 30 seconds yet?

What an idiot. Trees have character and impact such as this one had. Give all chainsaws and they do not know when to quit. Children with a toy.
