It's funny how I've spent half my life in New York and there are pockets of the city I never really go to. Found myself on the UES today. Wayyy east. Almost felt like I was in a different world. I have a different perspective of this shot which includes the street and buildings.
This shot, though, I thought was pretty freakin' cool.
Interesting capture of what's left of that tree, it appears to have been savagely 'pruned'. I'm sure it would take a life-time to explore a city the size of New York. By the time you were done, there would have been significant re-construction and you'd have to start all over again.
Nice shot. went back and forth to the flicker shot to see exactly how the tree had been pruned. I like the two different perspectives and took me a min to figure out how the thing was growing.
@baznman I'm guessing they pruned it so it wouldn't have branched out into the building? It was quite a beautiful tree, actually...and odd for it to be on the street like that in Manhattan.
@thrivingmama thanks!
This was the boring shot of the tree: http://flickr.com/photos/mztee876/11295622184
@zenna @tonydebont @area2 thanks, all. The POV is what really caught my eye... And the branches.
