One of the most amazing scenes I have seen was coming home one foggy night after a ice storm. I was driving on Nod Road
towards the tree and with the lights they have on, the fog and ice it was awe inspiring. Even if I had a camera with me I don't think I could capture the moment.

The Pinchot is overpowering and virtually impossible to adequately capture on film. However, we try. I've attached three more shots of the great one. I am especially pleased that the Pinchot has finally reached 100 feet in height. It just seems like a giant sycamore should be in the 100+ foot height class. It goes with being a sycamore. The Pinchot's great girth (27.8 feet) is destined to expand eventually to 28 feet and perhaps significantly beyond. Interestingly, the Pinchot's rival, the Sunderland Sycamore, may hold more wood. I keep talking about modeling them, but the task is daunting and I get self-conscious when people stare as I take measurements. There's always a redneck wise-ass among them. Others can't imagine why anyone would be measuring a tree. I can't seem to ignore either group. Will Blozan can tune the idly curious out as well as the others, I guess, but I can't. It would be good to see that fine oak and get some images, either going to the Cape or returning. What might we work out?

The Granby Oak is so beautiful and photographs very easily! An excellent subject, there are so many ways to shoot that tree. I had a harder time trying to capture the Pinchot, it is so damn big! I really feel that no photo does that tree justice. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
