Reminded me of a conversation with our neighbours about their attempt at removing a tree. There is a vacant block (owned by our neighbours) between our block and the block the neighbours have their house on. A few years back the tree was hit by lightning and is now dead. Being on private property, and the fact it was original bush growth, the neighbours had to obtain a permit from the council for its removal. Neighbours duly applied and were knocked back - reason given was that the tree was now a habitat for termites and other insects. Fortunately the tree is in no danger of hitting either house if it falls though depending on which way it might go it may make a mess of a wire fence. There are also enough other trees close by that its removal will have no affect on my view of the sky.
