This Dawn's for you

This Dawn's for you

IF I HAVE TO BE UP this early, I'm going to show you what you missed this morning around 6:45. You know this is my favorite view of Center City framed by Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park and dominated by that huge (OK, I admit it. I need your help. What kind of tree is that?) oak tree in the foreground. This view of Philadelphia always makes me think that William Penn's dream of 1683 continues to live. He wanted his city to be a "green countrie towne" with a glowing pink sky overhead.

I don't know the tree but also suspect oak.

How about a copy of the full resolution digital photo for my desktop? Post to flickr maybe?

Great shot! Glad you posted it.
