    Within the City

    Tree Against the Sky

    Trying to find scenes of just nature within our cities can be a challenge. I look for low angles or move around the subject to isolate it and give the impression of being outside the city. Removing telephone poles, lampposts, pavement, signs, are what I’m after. This image was taken next to the tennis ball court at one of my hotels. I’m also kneeling in parking lot in an effort to eliminate larger buildings just over the horizon. If it wasn’t for the mulched area at the trunk of the tree, some people my not know the image was taken within the city. Have a great week!
