Scrapbook - 22

On the same trip with the lumber, we also walked around Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.  In one of the plazas there was this tree was the biggest magnolia I had ever seen. Almost 100 feet wide and not abnormally tall it was difficult to discern its beginning from its end.  Its majesty and grace for such a huge plant make it thoroughly interesting, but it is still a natural phenomena and not a piece of art.  It deserves so much respect and its age shows that it has known much more than any human admiring it.  Also, even though it's not art, it is a spectacle, putting it into the same range as the fish in Disney.  The tree represents wisdom in a way and history.
