Forests have structure, too

If Mother Nature studied structural engineering, I’d like to imagine her portfolio might contain scenes like this.

The world outside this verdant canopy dishes out one wave after another of turbulence and uncertainty. Yet the layers of green leaves, supported by a perfectly engineered lattice of branches, somehow keep it all at bay.

Soon enough, though, this canopy will shift colors, then disappear entirely.

But something tells me this forest, no matter the season, will remain the perfect oasis it’s always been.

A return visit is most certainly in order. Because we all need places like this to keep the real world out.
