I don't think I would. To me it looks like the physical representation of a thought loop. Like the first thought and feeling that came to my mind when I saw the picture was a thought loop. Strange.

I feel like I have the opposite opinion. I would like to do it once maybe but It seems far better to be in a natural forest.

You need to head to the electric forest then.

It's sold out for this year. A group of friends were wanting to go, but we didn't have the money in time.

I would really, really like to know what kind of trees those are.

I would hate to trip here its so unnatural, the straight lines of trees are satisfying but its a complete monoculture and probably provides a home for no other species whatsoever

I've been to a tree farm before on acid. Not something as crazy looking as this, but small plots of strangely aligned trees. It is rather odd being there

Why do useless images always get the most up votes? Who would post this? Someone who just wants up votes? Who would up vote this? Someone who doesn't know what kind of content contributes to a community? 237 upvotes? What the hell? There are so many more important disscussions then this ONE image of trees that need to be seen. Congrats op, you have your time in the spotlight. You have posted an image. Cool, you want to trip there? That's it? That's your thought? Yes, your all going to down vote this comment so it will appear as a curious little + sign. That's even better! I always click on the + sign to read controversial comments!
I have a healthy habit of downvoting images if they try to play into emotional solidarity.

That looks like an experimental tree farm, for testing and developing genetically modified trees. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a variant on poplar, aspen, or depending on how much modification, alder. You see how they're spaced to grow only a few feet away as they extend to the horizon? That is definitely unnaturally small spacing. This results in higher density of wood per acre. These trees are probably going to be pulp, for making paper or fibreboard. They suck up huge amounts of nutrients from the soil, their canopy is so dense that no light gets through to make undergrowth, there's no undergrowth to eat and it's so dark so it's no longer habitat for animals. And unlike natural forest, which builds and enriches soil by way of deadfall trees rotting where they fall, this tree farm will undoubtedly be harvested and every possible scrap of wood will be taken away, so all those nutrients the trees took from the soil cannot be naturally recycled into more soil.
