 This was taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden. This walkway is flanked with trees they actually trim into square cubes. I have taken several pictures of them in full foliage, but I have generally been disappointed in them. The images never seemed to capture the meticulous detail and unique look of these square trees. However, on this late fall morning I was struck by the chaotic lines of the bare branches stopping abruptly in straight lines, and I loved the shadows.
