The Dark Hedges is a beech alley planted in County Antrim in the eighteenth century. The ancient gnarly trees form a natural arched tunnel which is now one of the most famous local landmarks.

What a close call! The crew was here to cover a previous mud slide when this huge one happened.

Beware of the trees, because sometimes these green giants are ravenous. The pictures here show how they gobble up whatever gets close to them.

You’ll never guess what "grows" on these trees.

There is something very unnerving about these trees. Some are ghostly, some are ghastly, and all of them are creepy. There is just something unnatural about them.

These spiders invaded trees on Pakistan. However, the news isn’t all bad. The invasion of spiders reduced the malaria rate. To get rid of the spiders, special super sticky glue is used. They are very interesting photos.
Once upon a time trees were huge, horses were strong and people were small, but brave. Having defeated all the dragons, people decided to compete with huge trees. They smithed a long saw to conquer a sequoia, also known as mammoth tree. A lot of courageous sawers perished under the trees...
There is an unusual little village in Sweden called Harads. The unique thing about it is its remarkable network of hotels known as Treehotels. There are currently 6 houses built on the trees. Each one has an exclusive design. In the future the owner of these hotels is planning to build 18 more treerooms to host more guests.
Nature always finds its way ;)
“In the depths of north-eastern India, in one of the wettest places on earth, bridges aren't built - they're grown.”
That sums up pretty well the idea of this post, here, the bridges are 100% natural.
Some of those bridges can be over a hundred feet long and they require 10 to 15 years to be fully functional. Some are really old (like hundreds of years) but they become stronger with years…
Look at those amazing shots inside the post.
The ‘TP paper on the home prank’ is quite a common prank but I’ve never seen one that big. “It must have taken hundreds of rolls”, said Meredith Summer who was driving along Maplefield Road (Pleasant Ridge, Michigan) when she saw this “redecorated home”.
Apparently, this house is often a victim of such pranks. Good luck to the owner to clean all the mess up.
In general, what is tree maintenance? It’s about fertilizing the land, pruning the trees, protecting them with different liquid products, preferably non-toxic and cutting them too. But believe me, it all a child's play compared to how they maintain trees in China.
