Banyon

This tree covers an acre on Edison's estate in Fr. Myers, FL. It came from India and was a gift to Thomas Edison 100 years ago. One of Edison's best friends was Henry Ford. They were so close that Ford bought a piece of the land and built his own winter home next to Edisons. I wonder what their wives thought.

That's a really good picture. I made it my desktop.
Henry Ford sure was a busy man.

Dorter:

That didn't work. The picture was the same size as it is up there.
