To tell you the truth, I hadn't noticed a power line. I just looked at my pictures of the tree and church, and it appears that the tree has been trimmed a little bit over the years, to keep it away from all the lines. And the feed that goes to the church goes below the crown. I saw that in a different picture. I think the tree is safe. To me, the pitch pines make such scenic pictures, I can't help but take a picture! And in that case, the tree was unavoidable. I'm sure it's well over 100 years old too. It must be. Those things are slow-growing, once they mature. I will send some more Pitch Pine/church pictures tonight. I think y'all will like them. Barry
