I feel like they’re lonely for each other -- the old tree and the sun. Like they’re greeting each other, as they have for the past few decades, on yet another morning that brings solace from the loneliness in the night. Or maybe they’re saying their farewells at sunset, but either way, they share their loneliness and can never be truly together.

That tree has some weird anatomy. Very “alien planet” vibe.

It strikes me as loneness, not loneliness. Puts me in mind of The Willows, by Blackwood. A place where humans aren’t wanted.
lumipuna @2, it strikes me as a Dr. Seuss vibe. Which, admittedly, is pretty weirdly alien.
It feels Australian. See, not alien at all!
The mildly deranged penguin says it’s a stain on the wall in the gents.
