Carving along Highway 27 south of Barrie, Ontario
This carving is on a LIVE tree, a weeping willow. I wouldn't think this is good for the tree but so far it doesn't appear to have hurt it. The carving may be rather new, however...so maybe time will tell.

I think it won't hurt the tree. And who ever craved this is so creative and talented.

Wow what a work of art...Great pic! I also posted a wood carving!
ReplyDeleteNice photo and a great carving.As the tree grows perhaps the carving will get wider. Be interesting to see it in a few years.
ReplyDeleteVery striking. I hope the tree likes it.
ReplyDeleteA good carving but poor use of a live tree.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I've seen carvings in trees before, but nothing like this. It's really well done. I don't think it will hurt the tree, either. Fun and funky!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful carving...doubt it hurts the tree. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteI think I would like the tree better without this "art."
ReplyDeleteLove the expression. It is so well done. I also think it won't hurt the tree. Kind of like cutting off a limb, except with more surface area exposed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting new form of grafitti. I dont think carving into a live tree would hurt it too much. After all, the giant redwoods have TUNNELS carved through the center of them.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a live tree carved this way. It will be interesting to see how it changes over the years, if the tree survives it.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazing work. I hope it survives a good long time so many people will see it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is a particularly awesome carving in a tree. I have seen it done before way back in the 70s in Washington Square Park, NYC. I do not know what happened to them and will check them out. WSP has undergone some radical renovations over the years, so
ReplyDeleteit will be interesting to take a look.
oh wow, that is so cool! and kinda creepy. haha.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice piece.
ReplyDeleteI doubt the carving will hurt the tree--I have seen a willow split completely in half from the top down. It fell over and each half lived and made many young trees!
ReplyDeleteI think the carving is extraordinary, it looks like the artist found the tree's "personality!"
Very weepy look on the willow. Strange too. I hope the tree survives. (Probably will live if the cuts are not too deep) MB
ReplyDeletePretty impressive. I wonder how it will change over the years and age and exposure weather it. Hope the artist sealed it well to protect the tree from bug infestations.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful carving. I can only imagine how long it took.
ReplyDeleteGreat carving but I guess the tree does not agree
ReplyDeleteA beautiful carving that seems to flow with the lines of the tree!
ReplyDeleteThe beard addition is just fantastic! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing work of art !
ReplyDeletei'm not sure it will hurt the tree .. weeping willows are very hardy .. this is another excuse to maybe some time drive down to that area and have a look while I am trying to visit some local nurseries in the area ? LOL .. great picture !
