Manipulating nature.

Does this look natural?

I often come across pictures showing manipulation of nature. So, I don't think that we should do a lot of things, but one of them in particular is manipulating nature. I suppose that this is a hard subject to talk about because it is only human nature to adjust, adapt and manipulate to our own liking. When it comes to the nitty gritty of nature though, I can't turn my head. For example a real part of nature is being manipulated constantly by us. Gardens.

So don't get me wrong. I have studied horticulture, I love a good garden, an indoor plant, a photo of a plant, a herb garden or a pot plant on the windowsill. What I don't like is a piece of art of a flower dipped in dye, flowers dipped in dye, leaves cut in a certain form to manipulate their growth, (bonsai not included) even planting non natives, especially with natives.

I just think that nature is beautiful as it is and we don't need to change it. Nature is beauty, so we need to appreciate what we already see!
