Description

Closeup of an ancient bristlecone pine in the Patriarch Grove, White Mountains, California. This is an unbelievable area, nearly as high a Mount Whitney, but with very little annual precipitation. Got a flat tire on the way out, at sundown, 10000 feet, in the middle of nowhere.. but it was well worth it!

If I ever become that ancient, I hope I should be that beautiful.

Good thing that you had your cam with you :-) Hope you didn't have to wait too long for someone to pick you up - on the other hand I hope you had some time to take more beautiful shots like tbis one...

Sorry for the flat! This is a beautiful photo. Wonderful texture. At the center, it looks like the eye of this aged tree.

Just a beautiful shot. I read that those bristlecones are thought to be the oldest living thing on the planet. What a thrill just to see them. Thanks for sharing this.
