Trees

So when I was in Japan this summer, I was traveling around for a while. I have found some new things and some old things. I appreciate wild nature and its landscape everywhere and many times.

As I am going to design some landscape in future, I would like to design it with appreciation of nature. I know there are designs with only using artificial materials, but I just don't get it most of the time. Human need, require, and want natures around even though it is urbanized.





Like Tokyo, a lot of tall buildings are there and they are built more and more, at the same time, some designers try to put more greens as roof top garden, street trees, etc. If there are trees on streets, people will walk through more, stop by and talk more. Also that prevents groval warming or heat island phenomenon.






Anyway, this Ginkgo tree is over 1000 years old..
How amazing is that!
