The Walnut Tree of Emperor Charles V, Yuste
A sepia albumen photograph of a massive, spreading tree whose thick trunk forks low over bare rocky ground. A small figure stands at the right foot of the trunk, giving scale to the broad canopy above.
Look closer: A small figure stands at the base of the trunk on the right, almost lost in the shadow and rocks.
