The guard, cut down trees

• The guard, the trees cut down to

I was tempted to start this post with the Lube group song "Do not ruin men" ... Remember? "Do not ruin men, do not kill, do not cut the tree, do not break!" But I do not like too Lube group and I like you, so do without the extreme.

We've got trouble happened in Moscow. ENEA started to cut down on "centuries-old ate!" People began to rebel as well, so big and beautiful fir cut! Several people have written to me. I'm in the beginning did not attach any importance to this. But today the felling of fir trees I said a familiar photographer Anton Belitskiy. He was excited and scared.

I began to understand. Make it right. Yes, the Christmas tree at ENEA has long been time to cut.

We decided to experience the sacred trees tremble. God forbid anyone dare touch any stunted pine, just howling understood.

The trees are different. It is forest, which grows as he stops to think. And there are trees in the city. So, the trees in the city are part of the urban landscape. Just as buildings, monuments, lanterns and other elements of the city, trees must obey certain rules. Unlike buildings, streetlights and benches, the tree has one big disadvantage - it is alive. It is constantly changing in size, and sometimes killed. The man, of course, trying to somehow curb the tree - tonsured him rasp. But sometimes a tree spiraling out of control, then it must be destroyed! (Ha ha ha ha evil laugh) Let's start from afar. There in Color Moscow boulevard. At some point it was overgrown. Some of the trees have grown, others died. As a result, instead of neat boulevard were chaotic thicket:

In the middle of the zero it has been hard to tell where there Boulevard, where the tracks and where the trees. And all the trees are cut down. Under the eerie cries of the defenders. And they put a neat young linden.

It has been 10 years, and today looks gorgeous boulevard. Neat green alleys, nice to look at:

After 10 years, they will grow up and be a great boulevard.

With the trees in the city should be an order. Elysian Fields:

When the trees begin to interfere with the architecture, to dominate, to close the building to spoil the image of a city or a street, they cut down and put the others.

So we decided to do at ENEA.

We took the age-old fir ...

And cut down! At the very back!

Even penechki have left

And in their place planted linden.

Right now planted

By the way, a little history.

Initially, the main avenue in '54 planted apple trees. View of the hall, the then Georgian SSR. 1954

When ate were small, they looked normal. But after 50 years they turned into monsters, because that is not visible architecture that look sloppy, and the best that could be done with them - cut down.
