"My" giant tree is no more -- its roots rotted out, cracked right open down the middle! :-(

Good thing I took pictures of it (1, 2) while it was still there (this is the dr5 image I sent you). Maybe I should go to the park and see if it is still cracked in half, I wonder if that'd be interesting.

I thought I would have many years to take numerous shots of this natural wonder, but it was not to be. Only a few shots :-(

A sad thing.

It’s always terrible news when a magnificent tree is lost, but perhaps there’s consolation that it died a natural death.

And the article’s following sentence must make the loss easier to bear:

“Some good will come from what Staub called a ‘tragedy’ — the parks department, which runs that section of Genesee Valley, will save some of the oak's limbs for use in an innovative ‘natural play area’ to be built in the county's Abraham Lincoln Park in Penfield.”

That reminds me, this healthy maple suffered an unnatural death by chainsaw.

The cut-and-run crew is still on the loose, inflicting more death and mayhem. But we’ll find them. And bring them to justice. In slow, gradual medieval fashion.

Yea, that's true. Glad I wasn't taking a picture of it from underneath it when it broke. I bet the ground must have shaken nearby when it cracked in half. I wonder how many tonnes it weighed.

I have envisaged this picture for some time, and yesterday was the first time conditions have matched my goal (with me being there). Portra 160NC, front rise, Fujinon 90mm f8 @ f32.

The light is special and it works really well in colour. Also one of the best 90mm shots I can remember seeing. Feels just the way it was (I think).

It is cold in the south west today but the sun is shining.
