2nd December 2010 - Multitasking tree

Even the trees work hard here. Jobs include carrying advertising sign, supporting various shops/house structures, places to worship, carrying phone and electricity cables. I'd noticed that all of the trees that lined the main road have also now been painted. Bottom 1m of the trunk is an earthy brown followed by a white band. The white band is to ensure the tree is easier to spot at night and the brown colour? This ensures that people who chew pan and spit can do so against the lower trunk and it doesn't show up - brilliant!
