#TreeTuesday The Scared Tree of Love

in treetuesday •  7 years ago  (edited)

Slashed with the names of lovers that continue to rise up years after the knife sketched the words forever to be remembered.

All around the base of the trunk rising up as the tree grows are the scars of its tortured past. It's in such a popular destination where it can easily be viewed countless times a year.

It's telling how long ago people etched their place in history because some words are now too high to be reached. Starting at the bottom, as we mostly do, the names can rise up staying in view longer. Whereas the names at the top will be so far up you would need a ladder to see them.

Even this wire leading up to some spot lights has be enveloped as the years pass by. The tree will not be stopped by such things.

Bruised, Used and Battered the tree rises without hesitation.

Are these love relics still relevant today? Will some couples come back on their 20th anniversary and look way up at how tall their names have grown. Is some planning to a solo return ninja mission to wipe the memory from existence.? Time will tell.

Poor tree, tortured by lovers' words. Maybe trees can also feel...

Interesting sweet memories for couples.

Interesting carvings, this tree sure saw a lot :)

It sure did.

I fixed the photos too so they aren't sideways. ><
