I really thought I was finished with fallen tree pictures but I walked in a different direction this morning and saw a whole new crop of downed trees. I felt doubly bad when I got to this home. You know how tough the housing market has been. Well just imagine the additional hardship of losing your prize shade tree and having to get it hauled away before anything can happen. I predict this house will be on the market for awhile.
Yes, sadly it is better the tree came down rather than the roof blew away. Thankfully you can plant another tree and someday there will be another lovely shade tree there. But I do feel sorry for the sellers. The house will be a little less appealing until the old tree is taken away. That being said, it's a strong picture- journalist style in the way you took it.
