| Winter's coming: got to keep those poor trees warm! (Note the use of warm colors.) I vote them neither guerrilla art nor crime against nature: instead, pure Whimsy. [If tree socks are a crime against nature, what do you call the ones on the lampposts -- a crime against technology? Luddism?] |

| It's art in my book both in itself and as a device to draw attention to the trees, any "but is it art?" question is a good question. |

| You're right, mto. Definitely whimsical. I could actually envision a new kind of cottage industry dressing celebration trees for births, weddings, holidays, Robbie Burns Day... And those photos are quite dream-like, ink. Do you suppose that was the original inspiration? I think just about anything done creatively, skillfully, provocatively is an art. Whether or not it is appreciated is another matter - not a problem on this forum populated by lateral thinkers with a vocabulary expansive enough to include "Luddism" and "wabi sabi" :) |

| I'm a practical person - my first thought was 'how did they pull them on?' :-) I assume velcro or a zipper... They're definitely whimsical - you could color-coordinate them with something significant in the landscape. It brought to mind the Blue Stick Garden for some reason. Ink - I loved those 'today's levitation' photos! |
