Cupressus

We had a tiring hunt through several hardware stores to collect materials for different projects to come.
It was late when I tried to find a blip and the sun was almost gone in our garden. But the cupressus still had some light. It will be brought back into shape in the next days.

Useless knowledge:
"It was believed in the Hellenic culture that the cypress tree was sacred to the gods and it is now used as an emblem of grief. The name of the genus comes from Cyparissus, a young man loved by Apollo, very attached to a deer which he ended up killing by mistake during a hunting trip. To ease the pain Apollo transformed the boy into a plant. The association with mourning continued in Roman times, up to the present day, also for a practical reason: the roots of the cypress are straight into the ground, and expand slightly laterally, not damaging the burials."
