The Leaning Pine

The leaning pines are probably planted too close to the apartment block.

Trees naturally grow well with a uniform roots around the tree.

The slope aggravated the problem which caused the root system to become one-sided and unbalanced.

And the pines, scientific name - Araucaria columnaris need sunlight to grow well, so they began to lean outward for sunshine.

The common name is New Caledonia Pine, or Cook pine.

Many human beings are becoming crooked.

Like the pines they leaned away from morality, from growing straight.

The pines need sunlight. The crooked humans need money.
