Last year I posted some comments about a cedar that was cut in downtown Como, to ... to.... well for no reason, other that the major did not like it there.
It was cut at 4 am in the morning to avoid protests by the "green" and normal citizens.
Here it is (was) :
That tree is no more, and the "comaschi" can now enjoy the view of the theatre without the stupid tree before it.
Having said that about Como, Italy, it is time to comment on some trees here in Nice, France.
Here they were, last year:
The trees I'm taking about are the ones just after the tram
Carnaval (carnival) came, and to make space for seating people...
the trees were cut.
Now, our friend from Paris told us that someone (the major ? I cannot remember) promised to implant new trees after the carneval was over.
And here they are: this last picture was taken yesterday, with workers clearly intent at hiding every hint at the trees that once were. Promises by politicians are probably the same on this side like on the other side of the alps.
