Taken at Murrays Run, NSW. With The colours in the trees changing, they make for great photos. I shot this spot last year and its always good to see the difference between then and now. I shot this just after the sun rose and this tree i thought was cool because of the pieces of wood lying next to it. I'm not sure why they were there but the mix of those and the yellow and red leaves looked cool.

Edit: This was the original Magic Tree. It has now been retired, and a new one at Cherry Hill has taken its place.
In 1921, the Power's, a pioneer ranch family, opened a fruit stand along US Highway 40 (now Interstate 80). The original fruit stand became a restaurant and due to its success, grew to a clutter of small buildings. The owners saw a need for coordination in the development, so they hired us in 1957 to develop a master plan for the restaurant and the ranch.
The building master plan was based on a 16 foot modular system of incremental additions, renovations, and replacement of existing facilities. Work was completed in two major and several minor additions. The first phase completed in 1959, consisted of a new main dining room for the Nut Tree Restaurant, additions and remodeling of the kitchen, an employee cafeteria, and a new entry canopy. The Nut Tree Restaurant was a grand volume designed to display artwork, artifacts and merchandise. The space was accented with large glassed-in bird cages displaying many species. Graphic design and displays were created by Don Birrell, Design Director of the Nut Tree who we worked in close collaboration with.
The next major phase, completed in 1970 was an addition of five bays to expand the sales area, new restrooms, and administration offices. The Nut Tree sign is the front wall of what became a space-frame to replace the central sales space. Ten additional bays were also planned to be added onto the north east end.
The master plan for the ranch included a general aviation airport with service facilities (later donated to the city), a miniature railroad running from airport to the restaurant, the original family farm house which was restored as a museum, and a plaza for outdoor dining. Future plans included two motels and additional restaurants, including the Coffee Tree which was located across the highway.
The success of this project, aesthetically and commercially, was the direct outgrowth of our interaction with an articulate, design-conscious and critical client group.
