Still working on my urban tree series. Still trying to decide whether to call it The Tension Between Nature And The Urban Landscape or Trees With Big Butts





This is going to be a little less curated than my usual posts, because I am still picking which shots will be The Shot and might reshoot some of these... I may need a lens I didn't have on me for this walk. Anyway, the works in progress

It does have a nice ring!

Some of Portland's trees have a very storybook / fairytale vibe to them. I want some pics like that, but what I'm after is ones that give a feeling of tension between very established trees and the city, the weird things that happen when a tree's been there a very long time

I love the fairytale stuff, but yes. There's definitely a particular vibe to seeing tree roots pushing sidewalk pavers out of the way, or engulfing signposts and such. I do love it.
