single photos Bristlecone Pine Sunset

Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. White Mountains California. Elevation over

11,000

 

This remote location is home to the oldest living trees on Earth. Some have

been dated at almost 5000 years old. I do not know the age of this tree,

although it is obviously very old. It has likely seen more than a million sunsets.

I hope this photograph reflects the timeless beauty and magnificence of these

trees.

The only way to tell how old, is to cut the base of that trunk and start counting with a magnifying glass. But I would highly recommend against doing that.. Beautiful shot!!!!
