Writing About Place

Ecotone: Writing About Place did a group-blogging exercise on the subject of Trees and Place. (I couldn't get my mind around it, somehow, but there are links to lots of good pieces by others.)

Banyan tree, Theosophical Society, Chennai

(Update: And here's a link to ancient trees via Wood s Lot.)
