Psithurism: The sound of wind whispering through the trees

Psithurism seems to smudge the border between music and noise. Trees provide some of the most common and admired ways for wind to make itself heard.

1. We all have our “aha” moments that take our breath away with their sheer beauty — a scenic sunset; a constellation of stars studded in the night sky; the winking morning sunlight peeking through a canopy of trees awatrees.com/2017/02/16/komo…

Tree planting along streets for humans and non-humans was standard practice in Ashoka's India. Today, in the name of development ancient #trees are cut down. #UrbanEcology Ashoka and Arboriculture in India. - AWA Trees awatrees.com/2018/05/24/asho…

Ashoka and Arboriculture in India. - AWA Trees

Evidence of a vast network of managed street trees across India, from over 2000 years ago, that would surpass the most ambitious of today's tree planting. Ashoka founded arboriculture in India.

More trees for the chop...... My understanding is that there is no legal right to either light or a view?? These trees don't appear too close to buildings and why on earth didn't the council (Bristol) engage positively with local people to resolve this?? msn.com/en-gb/travel/news/lo…
