I am always looking for large and impressive trees to photograph. Usually when I see one My camera at least my good camera) is at home. A few years ago The Garden Crew did a project with a huge native oak. I have seen more massive trunks and main branches but this one is impressive. 

I took these pictures just after the January storm that toppled several trees including a 40 year old Honey Locust at my brothers house. As I was standing there my thought was that I would have stayed in a hotel during the storm.  As you can see thowner does have it looked after by pruning and cabeling to reduce the chance of failure.
