Hi all,

Please see below a call for photo submissions to the Ontario  
Association of Landscape Architects Quarterly magazine, 'Ground'.  If  
your photo is published, I will personally send you a copy of the  
magazine.  Our Spring 2009 issue is about Trees and landscape  
architecture. Feel free to forward this call.

thanks!

Sad Tree Challenge


Have you ever walked by a spindly street tree, sighing in despair  
because you know its roots have never and will never get the moisture  
and oxygen they require? Have you worked on a project in which every  
new tree in the school yard was snapped in two? What do you do when  
you see your neighbour hacking senselessly away at a formerly glorious  
spruce, trying to make it look "nicer"?

Take action by taking a photo! The Editorial Board of Ground:  
Landscape Architect Quarterly invites all tree-huggers to submit  
photos of their nomination for ?Saddest Tree,? to be compiled into a  
photo collage in the Spring 2009 issue.

Photos must be a minimum of 4x6, colour, and 300 dpi. Enclose the  
location of the tree, the time and date the photo was taken, your full  
name, and a one-line description as to why you think this is truly the  
saddest tree, beginning with ?Because it??. The Editorial Board will  
act as the jury in selecting the ?saddest trees? for the photo  
collage. Submit photos no later than December 19, 2008, to the  
Editorial Board, c/o Fung Lee, fung at pmalarch.ca
