I love trees. they fucking rule.
one of my favorite road trip memory is driving back to Flagstaff AZ from a full day spent at the Grand Canyon with my then wife, and the sun had set and we drove for almost an hour through a dense forest of black bark pine trees with every tenth tree being a white birch. thoe ghostly white birch interspersed among all that murky blackness was something I will never forget.
Later, when I watched Princess Mononoke for the first time, I felt the exact same sense of awe and slight fear watching the scenes in the Old Forest wityh the horned god.
trees rule all.
