The combination of the fisheye, the high resolution of the D800 and the infrared makes for an other-worldly image which is just spectacular! Well done!

It is terrific image: the shape of the tree fills the circle to perfection.

As to species: my guess (from its habit) is that it is probably a Weeping Willow (Salix babylonica)?

i will have to go back and see if the tree is marked.  Mt. Auburn usually has markers on certain trees but i don't believe this one had a plaque

Some kind of Willow (Salix) seems to be a good suggestion.

Salix 'tolkienii' ??? :D :D

These fisheye captures are really nice and the subject well suited to the circular treatment.

Should read  Sophora japonica 'Pendula', honeytree.

Interesting.

According to wiki, Styphnolobium Japonicum (we call it "enju" in Japanese) has a variant of dangling branches called "Styphnolobium Japonicum var. pendulum (or pendula)".  This seems to be the very variant.

Species of Styphnolobium were formerly classified as being in the genus Sophora.  Both the Sophora japonica and Styphnolobium japonicum names have been used for this species.  The latter appears to be the current name.  Many plants have been reclassified in recent decades due to genetic studies so a lot of scientific names have been changed.

The 'Pendula' name for this cultivar (which means an artificially created variety) refers to the pendulous branches and is a common name for horticultural varieties that are weeping.  As I understand it, "pendulum" would be the grammatically correct form to go with the new species name, but this part of the name does not appear to have been updated in all cases.

Excellent images, especially the first one.
