Big Brother is Watching You

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 8 October 2007 in Plant & Nature.

Thank you, Seraphine, you stimulated me to post this picture as a warning for everybody. The camera in this tree saw me shooting the red mushrooms I posted a couple of days ago. Fortunately I didn't pick them so I wasn't arrested for stealing from nature's treasuries :)

Ah yes, an eye! My screen is not too big and at first, I saw the top of the photo and i've seen opened legs, even with the place where the skin is folded under the left breast... hum sorry lol.

@Sophie: You see how trees resemble humans sometimes! I didn't notice it yet, thanks, maybe if I crop the lower half of the picture away we have the image you first saw, I send it to you by e-mail and you may post it, ... or, better, you now have permission to publish it, no problems with copyright :-))))

Veerendra from Pune, India

oh .. is that natural or manmade !

@Veerendra: It's natural, that's why I found it so interesting! It's a scar I think from a cut-off branch.

Lucca from Cologne, Germany

ha, funny. Is there still another one on the other side?

@Lucca: Yes, in fact there's a whole row of trees in this street with these "eyes", but many are a bit distorted, this one was one of the most intact.
