Cool tree, eh????

[BERIGAN]

Been wanting to photograph this tree for years, finally remembered to take a camera along.....

[BERIGAN]

Actually, it is more than one tree! Shape of the tree(s) was even better last year, God I am lazy!

Dude, I can fix it.

Seriously, it is a nice looking tree for sure.

In my mind's eye I'm using BERIGAN's avatar and the tree.

I took this while trying to capture a very rare snowfall here in Austin. As it turns out, the flakes were so big and fell so slowly that the tree looks like it's floating in space.

NOTE: It looks much better when not condensed to 72 dpi but....whatever right.

You know, I thought you were pulling my leg, and that was some photo of outer space, like from Hubble...it's a great photo, but where is the tree????

Okay..... Well, assuming you aren't kidding, the trunk begins at the bottom of the image, just barely left of center. From there, the trunk goes up at about a "one o'clock" angle. The branches spread in all directions from there with the largest branches pointing to about "ten o'clock".

I hope that makes sense.

I get a laugh every time I drive by this in SF.

Perhaps you see better in the dark than I do! Or my old computer monitor doesn't have enough brightness..anyone else having trouble seeing the tree? I do see the darkness, if that makes sense...

You call that a tree?

This is a tree. Just a few miles from here.

You can have all sorts of fun with it:

Go here and you can take a tour of the hole inside:

Needless to say there are plenty of local rumours that Robin Hood and his Merry Dudes used to hide in it (personally I believe they just used it to hang out their tights to dry):

I see it just fine. My LCD is kinda bright.

Brandon's pulling your leg, Berigan. That's the famous Hubble photograph of the Tree Nebula, located in the summer sky in the constellation Abboreal.

We have a tree growing out of the roof of a courthouse
