Elijah,

Upstate New York is one of my favorite places on the planet. I can't get enough of it. Here are some more pictures of Champlain and the cottonwoods. The first two images show driftwood art.

The next image is from on Long Point at Point Au Roche.

Now to a 16.8-foot CBH cottonwood and Monica for scale.

Balding cottonwoods, anyone?

A common scene of large trunks. So many that people hardly notice.

Here is the 15.6-foot girth, 115.0-foot tall Cottonwood. It is in a yard. I hope its owners appreciate it. Gorgeous tree.

The Lake Champlain country is peaceful and spacious. It has so much to offer and for us tree geeks, cottonwoods galore. They are the kings, the monarchs. You see their large crowns soar above all other species. You can look across an open field and see them on the border. What a treasure of gorgeous big trees.
