David Hampton planted douglas fir and larch trees in a forest in Oregon to resemble a face. Every autumn the larch pines turn orange and the smiley face stands out
The face is about 300 feet in diameter.
rope was used to measure the circle douglas fir was planted for the eyes and mouth and the rest of the face was filled out with larch. both species will eventually be harvested but will smile at least for the next 30-50 years
I have never come back from any holiday feeling relaxed, refreshed & reinvigorated to get back into work.
I come back with the taste of freedom, still fresh in my mouth, a renewed hatred for work, and a strong suspicion that this is not what I should be spending my life doing.
I don’t want to be that guy but if your main character is in school/college and they’re in the middle of huge, life changing magical stuff, I’m gonna assume they’re being that person that doesn’t pull their weight in group projects unless explicitly told otherwise
