FIELD NOTE · URBAN TREES
The city changes when you notice its trees
At dusk, street trees stop blending into the buildings. Their shadows stretch across brick walls, and each leaf edge catches the last blue light.
A short evening walk can become a useful field study. Choose one familiar block and notice what changes from week to week.
Three details worth recording
- Where the canopy begins above the pavement.
- Which birds return before the streetlights switch on.
- How rain changes the colour and texture of the bark.
Familiar streets become new when you give them enough time.
