Dan Herbert submitted this photo with the comment “Me up a Leamington Spa tree. Early 90s”.

I especially appreciate a 90s goth up a tree because it validates the vague existence of this blog (although it’s more of a blob than a blog these days) by providing some photographic evidence that goths have likely been getting up trees since there have been trees and surly black wearers in close proximity to one another. If someone could provide evidence of Victorian era black-wearing friends up trees that would entice me to post more often. Maybe. 

This goth reminds me of the guitarist from my older brother’s teenage grunge band from the 90s. Pretty sure he wasn’t in the UK at that time unless he knew about some kind of tree-related portal that was accessible only to stoned people. That’d be right. The atmosphere here is dark and dingy but it’s not night time. The goth isn’t smiling and is a good height up a gnarled oak(?!) tree. Excellent.

music variation note: the music as Silver is leaving is in a lower key than the other scenes. The music after Flint says "Again." is lower still, and has fuller instrumentation.
