This is a shot of one of the many old and stately elm trees that line Allen Street going up into Penn State's campus in University Park. Unfortunately, there has been an outbreak of elms yellow disease that has been slowly killing off most of these trees that have been around for over 100 years. It's sad and will take away from some of the beauty of campus. Read more here if you're interested.

Following some of the comments about the "distracting" background, I softened it a bit in photoshop. I think that made it better. Thanks for the comments.
