A large tree trunk with vertically lined gray-brown bark. Three large limbs split off at about six feet (two meters). At the bough ends visible there are patches of small green leaves. In the background is a wrought iron gate and, in the distance, an old residential building.
The end of several limbs from the same old tree as previous photo, growing top right to lower left, view looking up into the rich blue sky from underneath. Limbs are gnarled and angular, ending in tufts of small green leaves. There is Spanish moss and ferns growing on the limbs. One limb blocks the sun. On the lower left are the backs of historical buildings, one three stories tall and pink. It has two slim vertical windows on the top floor and a door and similar window on the first floor. There is a section visible of a breezeway made of stone arches. A banana plant grows nearby. There is an arched gate to the right of the pink building. The other building partially visible are white with dark roofs.
