Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
C'est affreux de voir combien les gens semblent indifférents au monde quand on voit tous ces déchets qui traînent…

@Calusarus: Oui et c'est rare pour cet endroit, je vois plus un vent vif...lol merci Cal ;)
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

Le Photoneur from PEPINSTER, Belgium
This is there the major problem of our time, everyone wants to save planet but nobody respects her.
Nice shot

@Le Photoneur: Merci Le photoneur, I can't imagine why a garbage would be put in a tree, so I'm thinking, strong wind!
Christel from Köln, Germany
Good morning, Lorraine,
I also think that some people do not respect nature and leave their garbage everywhere. Nice shot.
Dear greetings Christel

@Ronnie 2¢: LOL we had the same thought, I was quite surprised when I downloaded the photo ;)
Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada
Well seen and captured Lorraine! The bane of daily life......everyone in too much of a hurry to dispose of their litter properly..... ;-)
25 Aug 2009 11:28am
@Eric Cousineau: I just have so much doubts about this...lol it doesn't fit, you know what I mean thanks Eric!
@dobbino: thanks Rob, it really tickles me...how did it get there?
lucid from Toronto, Canada
That's terrible. It's so annoying when people cannot bother to hold onto their garbage until they reach a garbage can. Great photo, though!
25 Aug 2009 12:35pm
@lucid: Thanks Lucid, i'm still thinking: strong winds...it's gotta be thanks for the visit :)
MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom
Good shot of something not-so-nice. (And I know what you mean about a coffee-Panic! - thanks for the comments!)
25 Aug 2009 12:35pm
@MrsAmber: It boggles my mind how it got there, all torn up lol thanks a lot Kate, no coffee, oh it would not be pretty!
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Gee, and the poor tree has to grow right through the remains of the trash bag! Good sighting.
25 Aug 2009 12:38pm
@Judy: HOpe it blows it away soon, but not in the water lol thanks Judy :)
KathyCalculates from Indianapolis, United States
We were looking at birds in the trees along the little lake behind our house when I saw something in one of the higher branches. I thought it might be a nest of some sort but it turned out to be a plastic grocery bag that had been sent sailing by the wind and landed there. At least yours looks like it may be in the throes of some decay! In fact, it reminds me of one of those dried out skeletal bovine heads that you see in the wild west movies!
25 Aug 2009 12:39pm
@KathyCalculates: I agree! it has the form, from far away I was sure it was something of the kind although the whys and wherefors would have been stupendous, couldn't believe when I uploaded it lol thanks sweet!

@Magda: Strange isn't it, thanks a lot Magda :)
Louise Thériault from Ottawa, Canada
En premier je croyais que c'étais un gros nid d'abeilles, jusqu'à ce que je l'examine de plus près. Il y en a beaucoup de sac dans les arbres en campagne. Triste.
25 Aug 2009 5:05pm
@Louise Thériault: Hey Lou, moi aussi de loin je croyais que c'était tout autre chose, puis une fois que je les ai mets sur ordinateur je me suis aperçu ce que c'était, merci beaucoup pour ta visite :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
For a second I thought this was the remains of a hornet's nest. Cool shot, m'lady.
25 Aug 2009 7:19pm
@Viewfinder: Thank you Kind sir, you just never know lol ;)
Markela from Athens, Greece
Good one, Lorraine!! I have an explanation for this: I think the person who did it thought about what the raccoons might do if they saw the garbage bag on the ground (lol)! :-D
25 Aug 2009 9:02pm
@Markela: hey Markela, as good as any lol thanks alot!

Nina from Hamburg, Germany
If the tree could speak what would he say? What's the reason for this stuff?
And there's no answer.
Interesting photo with gorgeous sunlight :)
26 Aug 2009 1:22am
@Nina: I love your comment Nina, I know trees are gentle, and they wouldn't lay any blame ;)
Claudia from Illinois, United States
Who in their right mind would think, "Hey, I'll just throw all my crap up into that beautiful tree and watch it slowly rot over the months. Then it will just be a plastic, non-biodegradable bag hanging up there. Cool!" Sheesh! But it's a great capture and as always...you have the best titles! :) :)
26 Aug 2009 1:34am
@Claudia: We are strange us human beings lol you crack me up, thanks CAPPt
@amy: still it looks like art, must be the tree ;) thanks sweet Amy!
Barbara from Florida, United States
At first I thought the witch for Halloween was flying too low. Does this mean the witch will cast a spell on those who throw their trash anywhere?
It is a great shot, I like the clarity and the light.

@Barbara: Oooo I love the way your mind works, it's magical...;) thanks Barb !
