I went to lunch with some coworkers yesterday at this Chinese Restaurant and couldn't help but notice the massive fig tree that covers a good portion of Glassell St. It has branches that are as tall and wide as most trees around town.
Check this thing out on google maps street view.
The first ever exposure I made with my 8x10 was made down the street from here on E. River Ave. I had stumbled upon a massive Maple tree in front of a house. At the time, I did not know about the fig tree. The house next door also has a massive Pine tree. The trees and the homes make for interesting pictures because of the contrast between the giant trees and the very modest homes that lie juxtaposed to one another.
I'm going to head out later tonight and try to make a picture or two of these trees.
