Freedom

I went out for a walk down the field the other evening. In the ditch, or as some call it - hedgerow, I snapped the image below. I call it Freedom.

So why is it called Freedom? Well, in my mind it can represent what the US government is doing in Iraq, what the Israeli government are doing to the Palestinians, and what many governments around this strange planet called Earth are doing to the people who happen to be living there. As the tree grows, year by year, minute by minute, nobody knows if and when the barbed wire will break, or if the wire eventually will strangulate the tree. But, if the latter happens, the wire will also fall flat to the ground and be left to rust, sink and disintegrate.
