One Tree Hill





Here are some pictures of One Tree Hill, a place I was familiar with only because U2 wrote a song about it back in the late '80s.  I knew there was no tree on One Tree Hill; ever since 1852, people have been cutting down any tree that sits on the hill for any number of reasons.  What I didn't know was that Uncle Tim is friends with the guy who cut it down most recently.  Apparently, the tree's latest incarnation was pine, which is not native to New Zealand.  Tim's friend, a Maori protester chopped it down.  I just love arbor revolutionaries.

Anyway, sorry for the quality.  I only had my iPhone on me, not to mention four hours of sleep.
