What a helpful and handy fellow! It’s a novel place to put
lighting in. it saves cables from having to be tied around branches, though
this is probably the cheapest and ugliest option. Instead, someone’s had to
physically drill through this figure and feed a wire through it. It also
creates a fun backdrop for kids to lean against the trunk and do a handstand in
intimidation of the figure above them. Worryingly, there’s an extra piece of
wood hanging between the figure’s legs. It’s hard to say whether this is a
result of vandalism since it’s less noticeable if you picture the figure
standing upright. Maybe the original piece was a metaphor for trying to feed
rubbish into the trunk to encourage people to hide it or take it home. Or
perhaps there was a plan to put a litter bin inside the trunk, but the standard
issue council bin was too large for the tree.
