White Man's Footsteps
Top photo: this European transplant, also called Broadleaf Plantain, treated as a weed in the age of the lawn, was important throughout human history medicinally and as a living carpet. The young plants are also delicious sauteed. More on its history and incredible scope of uses here.
Bottom picture, another kind of odd print I came across in Prospect Park, more along the lines of the carbon footprint. A sick and amusing practice of going out and recoloring plants with spray paint is easy to picture for some reason.
