Tree Spirit

While out walking one day I saw this face placed into a tree. It made me wonder, who put the face there? Why did they do this? It seems to have a kind of mysterious air about it. But what could it mean?
What do you think?

    it’s a good example of random street art. i used to live in a neighborhood where someone painted all the fire hydrants in creative ways…..and covered street poles with weird sculptures.

    Gorgeous and somehow ‘animated’ in its being made upon a living thing.

    Art.

    Poetry.

    Commentary.

    Dance.

    Nearly timeless.

    What a beautiful find. And a fabulous commentary. A thank you from London.

    Nice tree. It’s interesting that humans tend to see faces everywhere – the moon, Jesus on a potato chip, Virgin Mary in a tomato patch. Even this tree – if you really stare at the tree, you can almost pick out the image of a person – eyes, nose, mouth, and look really closely – it appears that there is a beard. Amazing. You could sell that tree on ebay. Have you cut it down yet?

    there’s a band called the fiery furnaces and they had a song out called… um?… “Ex-Guru” (?) and, but here’s the thing, the video for this song (which is surely on youtube) featured this trippy scene where it shows shot after shot of these faces on trees, and if you enjoyed the above tree spirit photograph then your logical destination is that video.
