We took a refreshing brook with flower-covered banks and surrounding woodland and turned it into... a road system for lots of cars to crawl along bumper to bumper.

We took an invigorating rushing stream banked by trees and shrubs amidst woodland... and turned it into a dual carriageway which quickly choked up with cars.

We took beautiful woodlands crossed by a sluggish watercourse and... yes, you've guessed it... ran a motorway through them for... you've guessed it again... endless lines of speeding motor vehicles to drive on!
I DOUBT IT!
Well, there are parts of the country that are still like this or the other pictures here. The question is how long will they last. Our forests, woodlands, meadows and wild places have continued to diminish over the centuries as we concrete them over for housing and other buildings and drive roads through them. Perhaps our uplands and mountains will fare better given the difficulty involved in turning them into highways and housing estates!

I feel like we are brothers, although I live on the outskirts of a City, I am amazed that my nieghbors hate trees, each of them had a medium sized tree outside thier houses, they said the trees just died (poisoned), one has been cut down the other mysteriously died this summer, the reason they do like trees is they hate clearing up the leaves when they fall, they fail to see the beauty! there is no hope!
