The Tree is so big that no frame can contain it. There is no way to hold its integral essence in a single picture.
Everyone calls it The Cedar or just the Tree. They say “I’ll be at the Tree” and you don't need to ask “which one?”
The Tree is actually a juniper, not a cedar. It's an Arkeuthos (Αρκευθος), an oxycedrus Juniper I believe, though the subspecies of these trees vary a lot as I’ve learned these days.
Still, we all call it the Cedar.
Attachments:
- The Tree as seen from northwest. Two distinct trunks, separated long ago, send huge branches around, shaped in forms that twist and swirl in time and space. (remote)
- East side, more curves and forms. The sky is still blue between the upper branches, but yellow and orange above the horizon. Someone's watching the sunset in the distance behind. (remote)
- The other side of the eastern trunk. Ancient grey shapes folding and flowing, leading up, to a labyrinth of sharp leaves and younger branches. (remote)
