Stumps

 
...Stumps...
...all that is left of the Hazelnut trees...

 
...that grew in straight rows up and down this field...

 
...however...
they do not produce enough income to make it cost effective.
Most of the hazelnut farms have disappeared.

  5. How tragic that everything we as humans try to accomplish seems to have ties to the almighty dollar. It's a shame they couldn't have been left to just grow on their own. And I love hazelnuts.

  6. But why cut the trees? :( How sad ... hazelnut is a common enough flavoring. I suppose that means most of the flavoring is artificial.
