Getting Ready for Arbor Day:  Cemeteries are more than places to bury the dead. They give trees a place to flourish and let our cities breathe. Here's a deciduous silhouette, in fact, that looks exactly like human lungs. Come spring, these lungs will breathe again, perhaps engendering some cryptic jealousy. Oak Hill Cemetery. [2013]

  1. Lung or Tree? Both!
    Trees are the lungs of the planet; we think of the Amazon forest.
    Since time everlasting "The concept of a tree of life has been used in science, religion, philosophy, and mythology."
