San Jose Forests

April 2002

I took a walk along the Guadalupe River in downtown San Jose. I found a park & a lot of what counts for 'forest' in suburbia.

P4050067

First, this park is open for adoption...

P4050068

Of course, the trees have all been chopped off

P4050071 P4050072 P4050073

In place of established, older trees, there is a concrete park with man-made trees of more concrete

P4050074

And metal bugs instead of the real kind

P4050075

Looks inviting, doesn't it?

P4050076 P4050078

Nearby is another forest...of flag poles.
