The tree alone could be a character right out of Raymond Chandler.

Anon, I love 70s noir, too. Chinatown comes to mind, of course. But have there been films set in the 70s with a noir feel? Didn't they make Chandler's The Long Goodbye with Elliot Gould then? Was it set in current time?

Julie, thanks for the City Daily Photo update.

Thanks, everyone. Isn't this a sad, bare tree?; March 28, 2012 at 5:15 PM
