三 | LONDON -- A crane on tracks was removing a much-loved tree Thursday from the place near the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Wall in northeastern England where the sycamore was cut down two weeks ago in an apparent act of vandalism.The National Trust, which seeks to protect England’s heritage and natural landscapes, said the crane will lift the often-photographed and painted tree, which some believe to have been around 300 years old, from where it lies near the delicate and now-damaged wall. Andrew Poad, the site’s general manager for the National Trust, said it was necessary to move the tree “both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian’s Wall, and to make the site safe again for visitors.”Though the 50-foot (15-meter) tree is too big to move in one piece, experts hope the trunk can be kept in large sections in order to leave future options open on what could be done. The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be kept in place and is currently behind a protective barrier. Seeds have also been collected to see if they could be used to propagate new saplings.“We’ve explored every option for moving the tree and while it isn’t possible to lift it in one go, as the tree is multi-stemmed with a large crown, we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what the tree becomes in future," Poad said.Northumbria Police arrested a 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s after the tree was felled a fortnight ago. They were released on bail pending further inquiries into what a chief detective described as the “senseless destruction” of the tree.The tree was one of the main landmarks along Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built nearly 2,000 years ago, when Britain was part of the Roman Empire, to guard its northwestern frontier. For generations, walkers have paused to admire and photograph the tree at Sycamore Gap, which was made famous when it appeared in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”The tree, which was cut down near the base of its trunk, could grow again, experts said, though they cautioned that it would never be the same.The National Trust has received thousands of messages about the tree, with advice on what to do with the stump and suggestions of what could be done with the felled tree, including making benches from the wood, a sculpture or souvenirs to sell.There will be a public consultation about what happens next at the site.。这并不是Aigner在2022年第一次获奖。几个月前，由加州科学院举办的BigPicture自然摄影大赛也授予了“交配球”图像年度照片。评审团主席Rosamund Kidman Cox说道：“振翅欲飞，来势汹汹的雄蜂对着直接滚入画面的嗡嗡作响的蜜蜂球发起冲击。在蜜蜂级别的放大镜下，运动感和强度被展现出来并将小仙人掌蜜蜂转化为争夺一只雌蜂的大竞争者。”今年的另一个亮点作品来自于城市野生动物类别的获奖者。这张照片的特点是一对北极熊居住在一个已经被遗弃多时的定居点的房子里。这幅不可思议的图片是由摄影师Dmitry Kokh拍摄，他在俄罗斯楚科奇海的一个孤岛上发现了这些北极熊。Kokh将一架低噪音的无人机送上岛以拍摄一系列惊人的图片，它们展示了一些生活在这个定居点的北极熊。自然历史博物馆馆长Doug Gurr说道：“野生动物摄影师为我们提供了进入野生物种生活的难忘一瞥，分享了看不见的细节、迷人的行为及关于气候和生物多样性危机的一线报道。这些图片展示了他们对自然界的敬畏和欣赏以及采取行动保护自然界的迫切需要。
