What a wonderful shot of a beautiful day at a remarkable place.
To answer your question about mine the tree in bloom is a Tulip tree (Magnolia liliiflora) which is quite different than the broad leaf large magnolia. This is usually a shrub or small tree. The bare limbs above the blooms are an oak tree which won’t start spring growth for some time yet.
I been living half my life in this side of the world, and before I die I would make it sure I can stand in front of this magnificent structure ….. amazing …
Looking at your last three posts (St. Peter’s Sq, San Fransisco, and the Bridge of Angels… makes me want to get my suitcases packed! What a beautiful world*
So glad we get to share it here at Sky Watch!
