Blue trees for City of London Festival

No better way to cheer up my walk through the city on a dreary Thursday night than the blue trees installation. 

 In order to force people to stop and notice trees in the city and realise their worth, artist Konstantin Dimpoulos has coloured the trunks of trees in three sites a vivid cobalt blue.

It's an unresting and unsettling feeling to see something so familiar altered. It was like walking through a dream or surrealist landscape.

These beautiful sculptures will be around until after the festival.
