Old tree at Olrig
.

When you tilt the camera up to the sky, suburbia disappears from view. The reality is that this 11 acre site is now completely surrounded by developed houses, and is itself being developed into a school. After a fire in the 1990's and demolishing of substantial outbuildings in 2007 there only remains trees and a small bluestone cottage. Look carefully in the background sky and you'll see the stars.
