Dead trees make neighbourhood art

 


When big, old trees growing on front lawns in London die, they are not always chopped down -- at least, not completely. Sometimes, if the home owner can afford it, an artist is hired to carver the first ten feet or more of the tree trunk, stripped of bark, into a work  of art. A huge, eye-catching wooden sculpture is the result. And it's a plus for the neighbourhood.
