Much appreciated.
I've been kee...Thanks, Rick. Much appreciated.<br /><br />I've been keeping an eye on the trees too, and there are a few in the mobile home park area that survived, but not many. The one above Center Rock is an example, but it has been pruned back drastically.<br /><br />While I've been doing the Western street series, I've followed up on a few trees in the vicinity of the town set and was heartbroken to find that one of the most important ones was taken down just in the past 10 years or so.<br /><br />You can see it in the 1947 aerial and the 2003 aerial in this post, almost directly above the church, near the top of the frame. In 1947 it was right near the northernmost buildings still standing from the Wee Willie Winkie set. And in 2003 it could still be seen in the mobile home park.<br /><br />Sadly, sometime between 2005 and 2012, the tree was removed.<br /><br />There's always more work to be done, and I still have a number of trees to check out near the perimeter of the mobile home park. I used to say "So many rocks, so little time," but I suppose I'll have to find a way to work trees into my mantra too.<br /><br />-SNSwami Nanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917532765036907178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306223274540306366.post-39129397283750364062015-03-12T13:49:32.943-07:002015-03-12T13:49:32.943-07:00I have really enjoyed your series on the western b...I have really enjoyed your series on the western buildings! I especially like the old aerial photo compared to the more recent aerial photo. To my eye, The proximity of some of the trees in each photo makes it appear that some of them may have actually survived. Just my two cents worth. Keep up the great work.
