Wheaton - Chestnut Tree at Cantigny

The grounds of Cantigny, Col Robert R. McCormick's estate in Wheaton, Illinois. The house is in the background. I was particularly interested in the flowering chestnut tree (Kastanie in German). I had seen them in Germany when I was in the Army, but not since then, at least during their spring flowering period. Some of these trees grow to be much larger. They line major streets in some European cities.
