An Elm Through the Lens of Google

Google Map’s “Street View” can show you scenes of life in distant lands, asĀ here and here. But it can also give you a new perspective on what’s to be seen right outside your own front door, as in this view of the maturing crown of an elm tree I planted many years ago.

This is the belated posting of a photograph taken on Friday, March 28, 2014 at 5:12 pm. At that time I was in my car, stuck in traffic on the Francis Scott Key Bridge, between Roslyn, Virginia and Georgetown in DC. The view is to the north, upriver, with Virginia on the left, DC on the right, and the Potomac below.
