Teh maple is on the left and the cherry on the right. Both are native species and hardwoods. See the remnants of a stone wall at the lower right, which suggests to Tom that these trees were planted as hedgerow. Anthrompomorphic, like 2 bodies. Seem to push against each other. Mature trees now more deterioriated--shaded out not just by each other but by the forest that has grown up around them in what had once been a cleared field.
