The Stamford Canopy

The Stamford Canopy

One thing Stamford has is an abundance of trees.  They are everywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if we have over 100million trees in Stamford.

One thing that always interests me is the canopy of the forest. That area where the tops of trees merge to look like a giant carpet.

This picture shows a bump in the canopy. This tree is in my neighborhood. It wasn’t until I was on the third floor of AITE that I could see how it disturbs the canopy.

This picture is looking south from the Whole Foods parking lot at Bulls Head. You can see the merging of the Urban with the forest.

The canopy is a mystical place.  We can’t really explore it in person. I once participated in a video shoot where a drone with a camera went up just past the trees. The sight of the canopy emerging is truly spectacular.

There are many spots where you can see the canopy.

Next time I will list some spots to see the canopy.
