What strikes me is those poor trees - it depresses me the way councils butcher trees in London. And while constantly whingeing about cuts, they never seem to run out of money for vandalizing street trees.
Grrr.
You're right Lexi. Worst pruning jobs ever. Plus, they've gone and covered up half the root systems with asphalt. Obviously with these austerity cuts they can't afford getting professional arborists. Poor trees. Nice bunting though.
Pretty spring day in the sun.
Does look a rather extreme haircut, doesn't it? I'm certain the trees are enjoying their day at the beach though!
There's a massive fox on the roof of the Hayward Gallery too. Seriously. Massive.
