From the looks of the 'shaft' of sunlight it's no wonder this is a lone tree. Cities need more open ground space than the greedy will allow.
Jane Jacobs would hate the walk around in this area. Not human scale.
You caught this at an optimum time from the looks of it. Good one, Sam.

Oooh. I like this a lot. Great spot!

Amazing how you noticed that light highlighting the tree. That's a photo most people would've have walked by and not seen. Love all your photos, the spectacular sunsets and seascapes as well. I also appreciate it when you showcase what would otherwise be mundane.
