This is a redwood tree. In fact, it is what is called metasequoia, or “dawn redwood,” a strange variety of redwood that loses its needles in winter. They are planted all over Seoul, though not native there.
I took this picture in January, 2009, in Goyang, Korea, a few blocks from my apartment.

Imagine the contrast of this picture to what this might look like on a summer day one hundred years from now when those trees have grown tremendously and engulf the sidewalk in shadow.
