The Survivor Tree: An American elm on the north side of the Memorial, this was the only shade tree in the parking lot across the street from the Murrah Building. Commuters arrived early to get one of the shady parking spots provided by its branches. Photos of Oklahoma City taken in the 1920s show the tree to be about 100 years old.[5] The tree was taken for granted prior to the blast. Heavily damaged by the bomb, the tree survived after nearly being chopped down during the initial investigation, when workers wanted to recover evidence hanging in its branches and embedded in its bark.[6]
The force of the blast ripped most of the branches from the Survivor Tree, glass and debris were embedded in its trunk and fire from the cars parked beneath it blackened what was left. Most thought the tree could not survive. Almost a year after the bombing, family members, survivors and rescue workers gathered for a memorial ceremony by the tree noticed it was beginning to bloom again. The Survivor Tree now thrives, as the Outdoor Memorial design included a mandate to feature and protect the tree. For example, one of the roots that would have been cut by the wall surrounding the tree was placed inside a large pipe, so it could reach the soil beyond the wall without being damaged. The decking around the tree was raised several feet to make an underground crawlspace; workers enter through a secure hatchway and monitor the health of the tree and maintain its very deep roots.[3][6]
The inscription around the inside of the deck wall around the Survivor Tree reads:
The spirit of this city and this nation will not be defeated; our deeply rooted faith sustains us.

I inherited a Konica Autoreflex TC SLR from my uncle (he's had it since the 70s when he bought it new, even had the old mercury battery still in it) and took a number of photos. Here's a small selection from them after I ran them through a few quick filters in Photoshop Elements.

Let me know what you guys think!
Want to know the worst part? He was just going to throw it away with the vintage (and near mint!) leather bag along with all three lenses. Told him I'd take it and get it working again if it was broken but then he said all it needed was a fresh battery and he never used it anymore. I couldn't grab it from his hands fast enough!Beduin wrote:
