There is not much in the way of colorful autumn foliage in the parks in Manhattan, but I managed to capture at least an almost extinguished tree producing some color. The photos of trees below remind me of my many walks with Sointula friends during my summers there. There are some pretty good hiking paths in both Central Park and Riverside Park, though nothing to match Sointula. Also, as in Sointula, where I found myself fascinated by driftwood of enormous size on Malcolm Island, I also love the many distorted arboreal forms, as pictured here.
Below these fairytale like trees is an image of one of Manhattan's "natural" forms. Since living here, I have always been intrigued by the reflections of high rises on the glass faces of skyscrapers. Click on pictures to enlarge.
