Armour (pip)

Armour (pip)
“Armour was most commonly used by knights and their horses, but sometimes also by war elephants. The best suits of armour were custom built for their user. To my knowledge, no tree armour has previously been built.”

This is definitely weird, Wierd. Has this tree died?

Intriguing image Wierd ...not many trees with a metal skin to protect it. :) Also like the PIP up close and personal.

Ha ha ha! =D

I understand the joke and irony that Antti Laitinen probably has there. Trees are endangered by humans, and they definitely need armor! =)

That's how I understood it, I really like the statue, also how it is situated in an open field in the middle of the city :)

relationship between people and nature? it looks like protection didn't come in time, maybe that's the irony? A very intriguing image Wierd
