Trees are a vital part of Furillen’s look.
There is the distinctive double tree line next to the main building …
The lone, twisted tree on the slag heap …
The windswept tree bent over the airstream …
The tree on the eastern edge of the sim, which has taken three different forms, from the initial bare tree …
the rather wonderful Christmas tree …
and now, the heart-shaped tree that will – soon enough – show signs of spring growth …
Then there is the tree next to the lake …
The tree facing south, next to the big rock …
There is the tree facing west, next to the railway carts…
We also had a special ‘eco’ Christmas tree, which was a gift from Soyoy …
And finally, a tree that few people seem to notice, in the quarry area …
With the exception of the tree line, all of these trees are solitary, distinctive, barren.
They suggest that while organic life is certainly possible on this concrete wasteland, it will never grow in abundance.
Slim pickings for passing birds.
