Meanwhile, another tree grows in Brooklyn.

(OK, bad joke...)

Wonderful composition.. I love how that hills in the foreground leads downhill and out into the distance.

Again, there is nothing that represents perseverence to me more than a lone pine tree ~ surviving wind, draught, cold, whatever! It reminds me of the tree that is the oldest living tree in the U.S. ~ in the southwest somewhere. Do you know the one I mean?

Love,
J.
