A Forest Community

We spent a few days in a hut in the middle of a pine forest at the Tuscan coast. The forest was growing directly at the beach. Walking from the bright beach into the forest was like crossing the border into the darkness. Only a few patches of light were reminding us that it was still day outside.

Looking up to the sky we could see these delicate bright lines separating the treetops from each others. It seems like every tree knew exactly where its territory ends and his neighbour's begins.

Wouldn't it be perfect if humans had this attitude, too?
