Ahhh yes, that semi-dead tree. I did see it as a bizarre “natural” counterpoint to the “unnatural” muscular beauty of those rocketing structures leaving the “natural” behind. And of course from a stylistic point of view, I liked the way that the tree was able to soften one of the longest dimensions and fill the dead spade of the sky while leading eyes back to that rocketing building. Nice of you to notice Murray, I often wonder if all that I do to make some important dimensions invisible also makes them inconsequential.It is very good of you to notice.

Thanks Gerry… And “fantastic” was exactly what I had in mind that day.

That tree is competing with all the clamour of the city. The ‘feel’ of this image appeals to me.
