The Green Man of Bamberg

He looks so cross with the human race.

I was thinking trees…….. about oak trees and inevitably ended up looking round a book shop for stuff on green men etc and shocked myself as I realised that ‘research’ into this subject had brought me to a very small section of the bookshop for palmistry, alternative therapy, witchcraft and what my mother may have described more generally as mumbo-jumbo.

I cant really describe how odd that makes me feel. Another revelation came my way as I realised bringing sticks home from the woods, decorating them with wool and taking them back to the woods and photographing them is actually some kind of ceremony.

This is a little disconcerting, like you’ve found out that you are addopted or severed human hand rolls out of your bag when you didnt know it was there.
