San Antonio

I visited San Antonio a couple weeks ago. Below are pictures of the Live Oak tree which was relocated to the site of the Alamo in 1914 (at the age of 40). Aside from its historic location, I found it interesting that the limbs all seem to bend toward the ground. I guess that is typical of the species? As you can see in the close-up, various supports have been placed to keep the tree from toppling over.

Here is an artist's rendering of the same tree.
