I snapped a good shot at this angle today. It is better because there are no wires in the shot, but you see a few gaps that don't show in other pictures. Almost every time I walk by this tree on the bike path behind Davis Sq, someone is looking at it and remarking on it. For some reason, it just stops people in their tracks.
I am going to try to take pictures of this tree a few times a week or so if I can. That way you can see it change throughout the winter months. It might be difficult since it gets dark early, but I'll do my best. Please comment if you have seen this tree or have other trees that stop you in your tracks in Somerville.
This tree has inspired me to start up this blog. If you take the bike path out of Davis Square towards Mass Ave, you will see this tree on your right side as you walk along. It is a beautiful and proud tree, and I plan on taking pictures of it throughout the year and posting them here. I also welcome leads on other magnificent trees in the Somerville area, especially if you can get a good view of them.
