Beautiful photography of Earth's oldest trees a subject I find most interesting. The oldest I have seen are the Bristlecone Pines of Great Basin National Park in Nevada. Please enjoy these beautiful tree photos : Ancient Trees
There are some trees whose existence span hundreds, if not thousands, of years. For over a decade, photographer Beth Moon has made it her mission to document the biggest, oldest, and rarest of the bunch. Using that criteria as her guide, it led her on a journey around the world. Crossing desolate mountainsides, private estates, and protected lands, she found these gentle giants and photographed them in majestic portraits. The results not only speak to their age, but the delicate duality of their existence—they appear powerful, yes, but they are also vulnerable to the environmental elements and human intervention.
