Rotted. Leitz Summaron 35mm

I had time today to be back in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.  Were life always this spacious...  The arborists had been by recently to take down this tree - a maple, I believe -, rotten to the core.  Is it a metaphor for our world?  But it makes for a nice sculpture.

I believe that the transient shot should always take precedence, but the stump is a better picture.  So I'll include as an Extra, the lady alone with her thoughts - and cell phone - in a beautiful, sylvan setting.
