Location: on the east side of Kaneko, looking across the street ( to the west).
Sometimes when observing art, it is necessary to take a step back and enjoy the whole picture. Because this is true for art, I figured it may also apply nicely to nature. This is why for today's field observation I decided to observe the trees across the street from Kaneko. I am standing on my balcony on floor 3 east, and surveying the wide variety of enormous trees across the road. They all are taller than the houses in between them, and each one is of a different variety. Some are taller than others and more conical shaped, while others are more rounded and squat just above the rooftops like fat giants guarding the houses from harm. I wonder who made the decision to put the trees in between the houses like that? How are they sure they wont one day fall and crush the house? I also wonder how much taller they are going to get. Where these trees found naturally, since these ones were obviously put here deliberatley. Together all the abundant tree and plant life makes the view from up here much ore interesting and welcoming.
