Haircut

They came to prune the Eucalyptus in our garden, otherwise it will grow too big and too close to the power lines.

Zonde dat de boom op de verkeerde plek staat Saxa :(

I had my enormous sycamore chopped right down recently.

[Vera]

My favorite giant ancient fir got vandalized by the power company - they just chopped a half of it in one vertical line.

[Kathy]

I had no idea that these grew so big. I had one in the yard at the old house, but disease overtook it before it grew very big.

[Bep]

Wat een enorme boom; jammer dat hij gesnoeid moest worden.

[Helen Jane]

it still looks very close to the power lines! I hope the tree is able to regain some of its elegance again.

[Pyrrhula]

Wordt het nu een knotwilgeucalyptus.

[Hope D Jennings]

wow. That’s how the fire in Cali started.

[Walks @ 7]

Hope that it isn't to depressed now.

[Rob Z]

Aww - poor fellow - he was planted in an unfortunate position....

@madeinnl @billyboy @vera365 @randystreat @gijsje @helenhall @pyrrhula @mzzhope @joysabin @robz thanks for the nice comments. It does look quite rigorous but this Eucalyptus is quite hardy and grows quick. Three years ago they also cut about a third of its total height.

[Corinne]

Hope it will grow again !

[KWind]

wow... that's quite the trim!!

That's a very severe haircut! They've recently come and cut down several conifers in my garden for the same reason and it's amazing how much lighter the garden looks now.

[Sally Ings]

That's quite some pruning.

My idea for your get pushed challenge is to shoot soft or out of focus - your choice of subject, whatever takes your fancy!
