Roots

Los Angeles, CA

* 9-15-06 *

This wonderful tree had roots that stretched 3 car lengths ~
Deep, large crevices crack the concrete sidewalk as the thick
branches reach for the blue sky hidden by the skyscrapers ~

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z6

Amazing tenacity of nature. Even surrounded by concrete, the tree is able to make a comeback and sruvive.

Outstanding shot Colleen.

I hope they let the roots win over the concrete. Curbs, walls and walkways can be moved. Majestic trees like this should be left alone. Great picture.

Very fine shadow play.

Well grounded :). Don't let public works know about all that damage ;)

I was going to say that it looked like a fig but Laine beat me to it. So I'll say it's a very large fig. :^)

Looks like a fig tree by those roots. Those roots will move houses :>O

The roots look swirled. What an interesting tree!
