A tree grows in Beverley

bitty's lovely foliage pictures made me think of a particular tree that I've taken note of over many years, while travelling to and from Gloucester in October.
It's on the southbound side of Route 128 between exits 20 and 21, at the bottom of the hollow between two hills, and it's partially obscured by other trees (especially on the north side) so that you can't actually see it until you're almost level with it. It's a rather neat conical shape (unlike the unruly Norway maples around it), and it turns a little later than many of the trees in the area, but when it does it goes through a sequence of yellow-to-gold-to-orange that is just spectacular. It was right about at its peak when we last passed it on Tuesday.
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, given that I only see it while passing it at driving speed, and that it's not visible from any significant distance along the road. But I try to remember to watch for it at this time of year.
