I posted a blog about a local tree a few months back which I was always impressed with. On my trip to the the supermarket on my bike today I was very shocked to see it had been butchered. The tree I estimate must have been over 200 years old, sitting in a suburb of Maastricht 'Eyldergaard' which is built up of houses from the 70's. What a sad loss that the only piece of history has vanished. I guess they did it on safety reasons as it would have fallen on to the surrounding houses but it will really miss my big tree. I might start hugging trees in future just incase I don't get to say goodbye.

It was alsof for me a shock that the tree was gone... :-(
I live for 20 years here in the Eyldergaard and grow up with this tree.. it really makes me sad.. i loved that tree..
I cannot believe it, such a lack of sensitiveness and nature spirit! I cannot believe it was really necessary... :-(
I was looking for ancient trees lately, and I found a beautiful page about this, maybe it can cheer you up! http://82.94.219.20/~jpa/index.html
hi polarbear! I'm very glad that you liked the link, I found that web page amazing, really beautiful and made with lots of care. I look forward to travel there and be close to some of those beautiful trees, they must irradiate an energy of ages... it makes me tremble just from here...
