CTF Challenge 96 - Tilted Viewpoint

When Ginny and I spent our first Christmas together (1973) we were graduate students at MIT. We decided we needed a Christmas tree so we went out and bought a Norfolk Island Pine tree, which was about 18 inches tall, and put it on the table in Ginny's dorm room. We decorated it and named it "Chris". Well, we still have it. It has survived these 32 years in a pot, but it is quite ragged and bent. This photo silhouettes it against our living room windows. In honor of its age and sentimental value I shot it so that its scrawny trunk would be straight and proud.
