Dawn redwood trunk, with bark starting to grow around the metal banister of a fire escape.

Dawn redwood tree as tall as the 3-storey University building next to it, with foliage turning brown in the Autumn.

A mossy tree trunk that has grown over a 1kV power line, just the edge of the insulators sticking out of the bark, and the cables.
