Urban retreat
This postage-stamp sized open space in Annapolis, MD is filled with one of the most ancient trees known-the Dawn Redwood.
Once known only from fossils, the Dawn Redwood was "discovered" in East Asia in the 1940s. It is an unusual conifer in that it loses its leaves every fall.
The dawn redwood can grow to be a very large tree and the ones in this picture could use a bit more room, but the unusual effect they provide adds texture, interest, and the possibility of community to this urban street.
