You can't tell in that pic, but I can see Long Island Sound and part of Long Island from my yard. It is really cool. I only have 1 tree left that really needs to go, but it's on town conservation land and I cam close to geting in trouble already. The fine is something like $50 per square inch of tree and it's about a 36" diam tree that needs killin, so the fine would be $204,000. It can stay for now.
Suggestion concerning the tree, herbicide.
Mel Gibson got in cahoots clearing trees around his property in Idaho last year. He ended up putting the dirt back where it was and had to replant several hundred trees he knocked down, all after paying a very stiff fine.
