Huge and magnificent, this tree made me particularly sad to see how it had been chopped away to accommodate power lines. How beautiful it might have been if allowed to grow to its full symmetry. At the same time, its resilience and tenacity are inspiring: “Go ahead – chop away; I’m still here, mostly just as beautiful.”
