I wonder what compels people to make things like bottle trees. This one seems a convenient excuse to not yank out a dead bush. But maybe that’s too prosaic. Maybe people think of them as a form of art. Who am I to decide?

Kay,
There is a mega-bottle tree on the east side of Dungeness Way, just a little north of Nash’s Grocery. You have to look through the roadside trees to see it. It would be sequoia-class if bottle trees had a classification scale.
Gary, I know which tree you mean. I featured that bottle tree on this blog several years ago.
Haha! They do say art is in the eye of the beholder Kay 😀
I find it a peculiar trend, but like this one.
Some people would take it as an invitation to smash the bottles which is a sad commentary on the number of immature young men. I know that would happen here especially on a weekend night after the pubs close. I do like those blue bottles though.
I think some deluded people who drink too much like to think they are creative and can make “art,” and so they attach bottles to trees. I’d never seen one of these until a couple of years ago down near the Gulf of Mexico. Then I saw two of them and they were there for a long time. But I haven’t been back in that area for a while so I don’t know if they’re still there. In fact, I think I posted a photo of one of them.
You don’t have to decide for them but you can decide for yourself as I can. Today just about any craziness can and is called “art.” I think a lot of it is crap put together by people who really have no artistic talent whatsoever. 🙂
Not to my taste, but each to their own.
As a form of art I consider it a few bottles stuck on branches.
