| About |
Sadly, not so heavenly... more a noxious weed. This is a zoom in on the tree that is impossible to "contain" here in my garden. Yes, it is sort of pretty when the leaves in Spring colour up. I wanted this image to show its slightly sinister nature. Eventually the leaves turn from a pale pink through a range of warmish tones to green. The smell is overwhelmingly BAD, and I have an allergy to its toxin.
This tall tree often with low-sweeping, palm-like branches appeals to the imagination of some outdoor folks. They visualize it as with somewhat of a heavenly statue or a tree of paradise. In a more earthly approach we realize that the Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is a tall, occasionally obnoxious tree that is a weedy, naturalized import from China.
I shot this not long after dawn. Natural light.
