Sidewalk Trees

shadow of trees on sidewalk


Who is it now,
Who calls me inside?
Are the leaves on the trees
Just a living disguise?

I'll walk home again,
To the street melody,
Shadows and Tall Trees.


[all apologies to U2, SHADOWS AND TALL TREES]

Great shot...love the shadows and I spotted the cigarette but right away! It looks as though the roots of a huge tree is breaking through the concrete sidewalk at the top right hand side of the photo...that might make for an interesting shot!!!

Cheers

Agreed, great shot! I love the semi-abstract quality to it. I've seen this a thousand time in nyc but have never really stopped to appreciate it.

Love this photo. It makes me remember that as a child I was fascinated by the tree roots breaking up the pavement on our street. And I notice that my own children also see them and think of them as some kind of magic.
