Manhattan Roots


MOST trees in Manhattan just grow straight out of the ground with little above ground root action..
These trees on East 30th Street between Lexington and Park Avenue South are an exception..
Wish there had not been so much direct sunlight on roots, it makes it hard to make out the complex shapes, but you get the idea..

Trees with big above ground roots are common some places, like in Hawaii...

Block has some very old houses, some of which still seem to be single family homes. Very secluded feeling....
