Looking up towards the sky in Central Park. There are trees around the lower perimeter and arching up are 4 disgusting, skinny-high rise money laundering constructions with the sun peeking out from behind one of the buildings on the right. Black and White

Eucalyptus grove

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #ClassicMono #Eucalyptus #Texture #WestCoastKin
Black and white image of a eucalyptus grove. All the trees but one have thinner trunks, but the one is quite large. They are on a slight hill with so much bark at the base that you wonder if the hill is all bark! This is on the perimeter trail on Cerro San Luis Obispo mountain in San Luis Obispo, California

A beautiful Cedar waxwing catches a red berry in it's open beak. The background is a blurred red berry bush.
