Views along North Ravenswood Avenue

This tree sort of stands alone on the Metra embankment at the corner of North Ravenswood and West Carmen.  It stands taller than any trees within a couple blocks and has survived some major trimming.  It catches my eye as I use this stretch of Ravenswood often while commuting on my bike. 

North Ravenswood Avenue can offer many surprises including unique homes, wooded lots and the West Andersonville Gardens north of West Foster.

"Decorated" work cars creep along the Metra tracks.
