**InterNACHI needs photos of trees! A new course on tree inspections is almost finished! To supplement the content of the course we need some nice high-resolution photos of trees. Take a look at what we are interested in below. If you have a photo you’d like to send, email it to me directly at tanya@internachi.org using the highest resolution photo you have, as well as a description of the photo. If we use your photo in the course and/or if Nick adds it to the www.nachi.org/gallery we will pay you $10. So be sure to include your email address!

I have some cool tree pics… coming soon. One of the east coast guys please take a pic of that mansion on the curve on A1A with the banyon trees growing clear across the property. I know I have pics of it, finding it will be another story .
Send me the address so I can see if it is near me. I have decent gear and will be able to send them what they want. I have done quite a bit of photography work in the past.
Thanks to those who have posted! We have some nice images here! From now on, please email these photos to me at tanya@internachi.org. Our forum has a limit on image size, so that is probably why these images didn’t show up Jeffrey. You can email me them.
Just looked it up on google maps it is 1500 S Ocean Blvd Palm Beach… really cool old Banyon tree. House built in 1927, 6 bedrooms, 11 baths, 8 half baths, 60k SF, 40K SF under air, 3k SF of garage, and one very cool old Banyon tree spanning the driveway at the entrance.;-)
