A lot of understandable outrage over the felling of the iconic tree at #SycamoreGap on #HadriansWall .. but so many other old trees are chopped down for widening motorways or other building projects every day .. saw this image and poem from #SimonHeywood which sums it up for me.

Image of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree nestled in a dip in silhouette. The space above the image is white with poem above the tree in black type.
'We curse the one benighted chap
Who felled the Sycamore at the Gap,
But tolerate those richer guys
Who burn whole forests, seas and skies'
