Yesterday, we published a picture made in Sutro Forest for the Tree Spirit Project, which creates art photographs of sylvan nudes to draw attention to endangered forests and trees. (Click here to go to the Tree Spirit page for Mount Sutro.)

Jack Gescheidt, the artist and tree-lover who organized it, kindly sent us some pictures showing the making of the picture. The men and women in the picture are volunteers (as is true of all Tree Spirit Projects).

[Edited to Add: These photographs were taken by Ray Madrigal, whose website is HERE.]
