Description
i was able to take this picture because an old lady died on my street. i didn't know her, but she passed away almost a year ago and left her house to her four grandchildren. they moved in for a while. i'd see them drinking beers in her front yard when i came home sometimes.maybe two months ago they sold the house to an architect for $1.3 mil, so i guess they're all about 325 grand richer. the architect brought a bulldozer to knock the house down and brought some gardeners to cut the trees up. it was hard to sleep with the chainsaws on all day.
i guess those chainsaws got the trees looking like this.

Beautiful silhouette, especially in the tiniest of branches contrasted against the sunset.

That's touching. I wish those 'kids' would have been more thoughtful. But if wishes were fishes I'd have more than a tank full.
I've favourited this shot because of how you captured it and for the story behind the tree.
:shiver: I hate chainsaws...So much destruction in this world.

Theres a nice but sad story about this photo, nice to have some background. Its well shot, i'm not sure whether i would of liked it at a wider angle though?
I'm not sure of the view around the tree so maybe not, but again very nice work
