Thirty amazing pictures of trees growing up and transforming surroundings into greener space

Not just us either; others share this view. The members of one online group, "Trees Growing Up," provide some of the most striking before-and-after pictures of sites where saplings were planted and developed into imposing trees, greatly enhancing the surroundings. We are showing the greatest pictures today. Down to have a look, scroll! Go embrace some trees over your lunch break; we believe they would enjoy it.

We contacted Ohio-based photographer Dominic Sberna as we wanted to know a little more about before-and-after images and natural scene photography. He was gracious enough to impart some of his knowledge to us.
