I saw this photograph on Facebook, that modern font of all wisdom.
It is claimed to be a tree in Portugal, but it seemed to divide opinion. There were those pragmatic sorts who claimed it is fake. For fake read photoshopped. Then there were those who claimed it to be a natural phenomenon. Although some did permit the possibility of carving, citing the nipples as too perfectly placed. Plastic surgeons of the world take note.
The first group used words like ‘dumb’, and ‘gullible’. The last group used termsΒ like ‘wood nymphs’ and Β ‘magic of nature’.
There was also an equal divide about the overall effect of the image. Some described it as beautiful, others derided it as creepy.
Personally I love it, but which camp are you in?
Camp magic of nature, unite! π

Reblogged this on Dolphin and commented:
…minus the boobs, I like it. I like the idea of Earth being the Feminine that nurtures life. I like the reaching up to the sky in a posture of praise and wonderment. π

Ha ha no-I meant in the original conversation that I stumbled across on Facebook. Even the ones who loved it said it was photoshopped. Still, it is artistic! π

I have to say I’m in the photoshopped camp, though I have seen some amazing natural phenomena, particularly in rock formations.

Definitely photoshopped-but I am in the appreciative camp, rather than with the ones creeped out by it π

If it’s fake, it’s an amazing work of art. If it’s real (which, I know, it isn’t) then it’s an even more amazing work of art. Either way, it’s an amazing work of art! Win-win!
