Nature's Lungs .

Having lived in Berlin for 19 years I'm shocked that until this summer it has escaped my attention as to just how fantastic these trees near to my apartment are.
The lower image shows them in Summer with thick green foliage . Their form as they meet,creates a tunnel through which the sun filters .
The central photograph is how they appeared in Autumn . Golds and browns are now prevalent and one notes how many leaves have already fallen .
At the top we have a Winter scene and it is ,as if we now see with X Ray vision. What we have here resembles lungs .. Indeed most apt as this is exactly what trees are for us ..
Nature's lungs .
How tragic therefore that each day millions are logged resulting in a slow destruction of our planet.
To fell a tree in Berlin and Germany is virtually impossible . Would that other countries took such a stance .

PS ) as well as preventing top soil erosion the following is a fact .
Trees produce oxygen:
A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.
Earlier this year I was extremely ill and in hospital on oxygen . It was a scarey experience . If big business is allowed to continue felling the result will be more than scarey .....
