  1. Love it! Reminds me of the Joni Mitchell song "Big Yellow Taxi" ...They took all the trees
    And put them in a tree museum...they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

  2. I was wondering just the other day why parking lots are solid concrete or asphalt. How and why did that come about. I see trees stuck in little bits of open dirt surrounded by wide expanse of parking lot....and they struggle. All the precious rain water washes into the sewer. What a waste!

    1. A waste indeed, well in some areas. Here in Portland, in the winter, I wonder if a permeable material could keep up?

    1. I do love those words "urban jungle"...although with "concrete" in front of them it's not quite the same is it?

  4. Our human propensity for erecting fences is rather fascinating, isn't it? I'm looking at your photo, and I just want to RUN toward the liberty of the beach itself. Powerful vignette!

    1. There was a distinct Walking Dead aspect to the sidewalk tunnel this pushed us into, running is exactly what I wanted to do! (zombies!)

  5. LA is talking about de-concrete-ing the LA river so it can be a river again. Progress!

    1. Progress indeed. I've been following this story but haven't seen an update recently.

  6. Parts of Malibu are worse - homeowners post signs illegally inferring that public access is prohibited or, perhaps worse still, that a fee is required to gain access.

    1. Here in Oregon the entire coastline is public, yay for that!
