Trees

A crowd of attendees mill about in front of the Western Forest Products display at a National Forest Week trade show being held at an unidentified showroom. In the foreground, a woman carrying two tree seedlings in paper bags examines a display featuring a large glass jug filled with pinecones. The Western Forest Products display itself stands against the rear wall of the room. The display consists of a stand of potted evergreen trees bordered on the floor by rows of small cross-sections of logs. The display is decorated with yellow and white helium balloons on strings. A large poster stands in front of the display and includes a photo of a transport truck hauling logs, an overhead shot of a forest, a closeup shot of new growth on the branches of a pine tree, a photo of the interior of a greenhouse, and a larger photo of a lumber worker wearing a hard hat, which is here obscured by an attendee. To the right of the poster, a case of envirofriend from the Doman Industries Silvertree sawmill sits on top of the log cross-section border. More displays and attendees can be seen around the corner in the background.

A fisheye lens photograph of a B.C. forest scene. Tall pine trees rise up towards a bright, clear sky, while fallen logs and groundcover plants litter the forest floor. The lens makes the trees appear curved, warping and bulging away from the centre of the frame. The photographer's fingers are visible in the bottom right corner of the photo.

A single-page excerpt from an unknown book. A caption at the top of the page reads "The Majesty of Trees". The page features a black and white photo of a daylit forest scene with fallen trees in the foreground and standing trees in the background.
