Forest Machines: Erasing Beauty Around The World
I find odd beauty in these destructive forest machines
Can we have this beauty
Without this ugly
To the point...
What do we value most as Modern Homo sapiens? Can we keep natural beauty, and coincidentally extract the raw materials necessary for the 7.6 billion children of the Earth to survive? Or are we going to continue to scrub the entire surface of the Earth clean?
Beautiful forest machine rusting in peace
I am going to let a wise woman end this post, with a sentiment to ponder...
When we Indians kill meat, we eat it all up. When we dig roots, we make little holes. When we build houses, we make little holes. When we burn grass for grasshoppers, we don't ruin things. We shake down acorns and pine nuts. We don't chop down the trees. We only use dead wood. But the white people plow up the ground, pull down the trees, kill everything. ... the White people pay no attention. ...How can the spirit of the earth like the White man? ... everywhere the White man has touched it, it is sore.

Interesting posts of your earth moving machines. Where do you see this that brings you such concern? 🐓🐓
I see too much of this on daily drives. Just a few days ago, I saw a patch of woods nearby disappear in a week.
I'd like to see farmers growing our wood, leaving what's left of our wilderness in peace. Destruction is fast. Rejuvenation slow.
I asked my questions because here in Florida it is mainly the conservation groups that either harvest or burn the trees, only to replant with pine trees. Thousands of acres in a very short time. What is the end game is my question? 🐓🐓
Strange huh? I know of a huge tract of mountain land that The Nature Conservation owned. A beautiful mountain jungle with waterfalls like you'd see on Tarzan. They sold it to a private individual. I don't know much about the details, but I don't think of that as conservation. Unless the buyer is contracted to keep it unspoiled.
