Does anyone have any ideas what kind of a tree this is?

Probably a weeping elm.

As far as I can see the tree has pinnate leaves so it isn't an elm. Can you tell us where the picture is taken? Judging by the road sign, hedges, pavements and just visible building I'd say it was in Europe, maybe Germany but not UK. Weeping ash is a possibility but the foliage seems too dense. How about Caragana arborescens 'Pendula'.

Here is a link that might be useful: Caragana arborescens 'Pendula'.

Thank you Jeri. It was so beautiful as it fell. Krista, thank you. We hardly ever get any snow anymore and this was welcome. Ingrid, I hope you will love your GT as much as I like mine. Thank you. Joanne, I enjoyed this rare surprise very much. I'm glad you liked the photos. Chance, you sir are needed to come to this part of the country and see that blue sky in person. Linda and I would both enjoy that :-) You would love Biltmore House and Asheville too. Carla

It's normal - resin will ooze out of cut petioles, and it is clear, thick and gooey. After it sets it does look like ice. It seems to happen after an extended period of moisture. It's as if excess water is released as the sap flows up. x

Years ago my BIL and hubby each built an Ultralight plane. My BIL had his pilots license, Hubby was going to but never did. Well, the BIL sold his and was flying my hubbies. He had to make an emergency landing in a field at the edge of the city. All was well for the time being. Then some weeks later he crashed it.This was the second plane he had crashed. He made the front page of the local newpaper with the first one. Well, my dear hubby had put in a landing strip in our field and BIL tried landing and flipped the crazy thing. All the neighbors saw was a plane coming down. They called 911 and we had everyone in his brothers come. My BIL was so hot.. Embarrassed is what he was. Cars were lined up and down our road checking out what had happened.. BIL was not hurt.. We got rid of the plane and hubby never did get his pilots license. Oh, by the way, my SIL would never get in a plane with my BIL.. I would say she is a smart woman..

I'm thinking something in the elephant family.

What it looks like to me, based on the foliage is a Robinia pseudoacacia cultivar. Maybe it's an extra lush 'Lace Lady', if I were on the scene I'd look inside to see if it had any zigzig shoots. It does appear to have ~curled leaves. Maybe the property is getting a lot of water and fertilizer, resulting in a more dense canopy than usual for 'Lace Lady'. The one shown definitely has some similarities to examples seen here.

bboy - that was another of my thoughts, but I've never seen one and could only look at pictures online. I think we both are going in the pea family direction.

Thank you for the comments and info. The tree is in Ljubljana, Slovenia where we are living for a couple of years. I've seen this type of tree in Art nouveau type of paintings but assumed it was just a stylized painting of a tree...I didn't think there was really a tree like it until we saw this one the other day.
I'm amazed that 'flora' guessed that it was growing in Europe! (I forgot to mention that) And the link with a photo of Robinia pseudoacacia looks very similar to my photo so I think that's probably what it is. Now how can I grow a tree like that??? I'm going to add a photo of the trunk..it is very interesting also.

It's worth noting that Black Locust is usually but not always thorny. In my area EVERY Black Locust for miles around is brown with locust leafminer damage this time of the year.
OP might consider searching for Sophora japonica 'Pendula' as another possibility.

So the tree in the first picture is the same one with the Medusa head? I sheepishly guess, a Wisteria tree?
