Heh... People are funny.

Here is a historical picture of our state capital building from the lake. This is one of the more photographed locations in town.

A couple years ago, someone decided the trees in front of the capital building were getting too big and were blocking the view of the Capital. So they cut them all down. Scalped it. I thought it looked like hell. And it's been a disaster ever since, the bank, scalped of all vegetation except the little potted shrubs they've tried to plant there, has probably sluffed off 10 feet a year, and is showing no sign of stopping. It's now sliding again from all the rain.

Every year that building gets closer to the bank. Heh... What were they thinkin'?

They weren't thinking, that's the whole problem. Jeez, what a mess! They'll be lucky if they don't have to put down rip-rap and spray the whole hillside with concrete, and won't THAT be pretty!

How sad:(. Funny that anyone would think a "building" is prettier then trees. I'd much rather photograph trees.
