That is just overwhelmingly sad - it's like a beached whale.

Yeah, there are a lot of pictures made with stones around the tree, that fans have made. Here's the one you mentioned.

and a few more.

some of these have been here a really long time.

Nice pic martha looks like a lot more snow on the mountains since I was there last month.

i demand a stoned zooropa baby

 

[Rosebud]

O my god, that is just the saddest thing ever.


Bono has talked a lot about "cutting down the Joshue Tree" over the years...maybe he really did do it.

 

[martha]

No. It was old. It fell down. Trees do that.

How does one go about finding THE tree? Is it common knowledge out in that area? That's pretty amazing.

If i remember correctly, there was a thread with the coordinates of the tree, but I don't recall when it was, nor am i able to do searches. I'm hoping to find out where it is as welll, however, since I am taking a vacation to California in April and would love to visit the site of the tree.

If you go, take a sapling and plant a new one its place!

As Bono said from the stage once -- although I can't remember if he was referring to the original Joshua Tree or the tree atop One Tree Hill -- "someone needs to take some seeds..."

I wonder if it sounded like Actung Baby when it fell over... get it?

No, it actually fell some years back. Around ATYCLB/The Elevation tour.

maybe that was a sign of some sort.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Maybe the boringness of the album depressed it
