Distant worlds: The new moon and Jupiter passing behind the 170 year old Argyle Street Ash Tree in Glasgow at around 8:30 this evening.

I'm happy to report that the iconic 170 year old Argyle Street Ash Tree in Glasgow seems to have made it through Storm Éowyn pretty much unscathed. This was it at sunset this evening.

This morning's sunrise behind the 170 year old Argyle Street Ash Tree in the West End of Glasgow.

The Argyle Street Ash Tree in the West End of Glasgow. Believed to have been accidently planted when the tenemenets were built around 1850, this lone tree has somehow survived for almost 175 years. This makes it older than many other features of the West End, including the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus, and even the nearby Kelvingrove Park.

This tree was accidently planted in 1850. This means it has been a feature of the west end of Glasgow for longer than the Kelvin Hall (1927), the Kelvingrove Art Gallery (1901), Glasgow University (which moved to its current location in 1870), and even Kelvingrove Park (1852).
