Midtown East, 57th Street Between Second and Third Avenues

This is a shot of 57th Street from Second Avenue looking west.  Has a touch of the exotic, I think.  I was imagining a sultan's palace back there.  It must be the trees, they're not your typical New York City trees, they're foreign looking, they're, well, what the heck are they?  If you type "flat topped tree" into Google, you'll discover that they are either acacia trees or they look exactly like them, and acacia trees are African.  There you go.

Wow! Thanks for the photo of the flat topped tree! I'd never notice this in 3-D (i.e., the actual street and the actual tree). I did dutifully type "Flat top tree" into Google and did see what you saw! 10-Q, again! 'S'wunnerful!
