Looking up the Spire.

The Spire is a temporary piece of conceptual art by Andrew Goldsworthy in the Presidio of San Francisco.  His work combines the natural world with the man-made in wonderful ways.  Here he has taken cut trees in the Presidio, where sections of a military tree farm are replanted on a logical basis, and built a giant spire among the new growth of little trees. The installation will be taken down in May 2009.  More information at http://www.presidio.gov/experiences/spire.htm.
