Square Root Photograph

A couple of years ago, a friend sent me a photograph of a tree that had been in a cement planter for several years such that, once removed, the roots looked like a big cube.  The pun was that they were cubic root trees.  (ha ha).  I was informed this morning that it is Square Root Day, and so I've been trying to find it on the Internet.  Anyone know which photo I'm talking about?
