Wow that's one BIG tree so close to the house. I wouldn't like to be in that house if there was a storm! Great shot as always, PJ. I really like the angle you've taken this from and the perspective it offers.

It is an impressive looking tree. I just read in Wikipedia that these trees live about 120 years. Hope the house owners take that into account.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

An amazing tree PJ.
I think you have made a lovely image here with the way you have composed it. The colours are great as well.

That tree is huge in circumference. Very nice shot, and it looks to be a very nice house in back of the tree.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Oh my that is one huge tree! I would have guessed it was several hundred years old, but I don't know how fast Locust trees grow. The house is lovely and the green plant in the right foreground gives nice balance to the hanging branches at the left top. Nicely composed shot, PJ.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I have locust trees in my woods but they are so tiny compared to this grand tree. I would love to have a tree like that in my front yard. A nice & clear shot that is very well composed. Super job PJ.

Great ! The background house looks very beautiful. It's exactly the kind of houses I thought there are in your state. A good composition too.

An amazing trunk...for my favourites! I love how you have composed this shot, with only a glimpse into the branching off, a hint of the leaves and that great doorway to that home. Well done.

We had the same kind of tree at my last house. It didn't get that big. I lived in that house 37 yrs. and it grew very fast. It is a Moraine Locust. Great shot by the way PJ.

We got locust trees but they're really spindly compared to such a grand old tree as this one... PJ, your composition is spot on! And what a lovely backdrop the house makes. I bet if the tree could talk it would have a lot of stories to tell about the house and its occupants.

Wow what a trunk! And I love the old colonial building - that cream colour and the big leaves are a wonderful combination.

Great perspective, PJ! That's one beauty of a tree, that I'm sure will provide shade for many years to come. Fantastic colour contrasts.

Seeing the tree before I read your words, I already thought, that the tree looks more majestic, than the beautiful door. Great work.
