Circus Tree: Six individual sycamore trees were shaped, bent, and braided to form this.

how the hell do you bend and braid a tree

Actually pretty easy. Trees don’t reject tissue from other trees in the same family. You bend the tree to another tree when it is a sapling, scrape off the bark on both trees where they touch, add some damp sphagnum moss around them to keep everything slightly moist and bind them together. 
Then wait a few years- The trees will have grown together. 

You can use a similar technique to graft a lemon branch or a lime branch or even both- onto an orange tree and have one tree that has all three fruits.

Frankentrees.

As a biologist I can clearly state that plants are fucking weird and you should probably be slightly afraid of them.

On that note! At the university (UBC) located in town, the Agriculture students were told by their teacher that a tree flipped upside down would die. So they took an excavator and flipped the tree upside down. And it’s still growing. But the branches are now the roots, and the roots are now these super gnarly looking branches. Be afraid.

But Vi, how can you mention that and NOT post a picture? D:

the angels with their clipped wings
stalk the city streets at night.

raphael is a politician,
all crisp grey suits
and meetings in the secrecy of a dark alleyway:
the laundry list of his sins
could topple an empire.

lucifer is a drug lord,
all battered leather jackets
and cigarettes hanging from skinny fingers:
there is coke in his veins
and god knows what on his hands.

michael is a soldier,
all combat boots
and assault rifles slung over shoulders:
he holds destruction at
the tips of his fingers and he smiles.

abaddon is a street fighter,
all brass knuckles
and limbs too bruised to take another hit:
something in his eyes screams
that there was a war here.

the angels with their clipped wings
stalk the city streets at night -
they were promised prayers
but here their mouths are filled with blood

the angels are all choking on their halos | m.c.p (via macbcth)
