Fall Tree 2012

For The Sunday Challenge group, who's theme this week was "ground level" images.

This particular tree stands at the edge of my town and each Autumn I photograph it when the leaves start turning. I've been photographing it since the 1970's. The sidewalk at the lower edge of the image ends right here in front of the lens and then drops off four or five feet to the little lane that connects to the main road that runs through town. By standing on the lane, I'm able to position myself at eye-level with the edge of the sidewalk. This is what the tree looked like for October 17th, 2012.
