Mr. William's Maple Tree - Pittsfield, Massachusetts
Maples are the archetypal trees of New England, iconic and grand, they still produce the sap from which thousands of gallons of maple syrup are produced each year. This particular individual was the focal pointof a picture I made about ten years ago of it and its owner, Mr. Williams. Since then, the house in which Mr. Williams lived, which was situated behind the tree, has been demolished to make way for an extended runway for the airport across the street.
