I wonder how old this tree is. There was a similar one in Blue Springs Park in Florida that I always loved. The combination of the spreading form and the Spanish moss is certainly a sign of the majesty of the South, really great shot!

The Duir the celtic name of the oak. It is a tree of enormous strength; you cannot drive a nail into it once its heartwood is aged. Oak forest was the climax of ecological succession in Europe after the Ice Age, giving rise to a host of dependent plant and animal species. The Latin name for the acorn is glans, and the tree,s masculine beauty is often noted. The wood burns long and was preferred for ritual fires at Summer Solstice. Oaks grow very old, with roots as great as the branches. Jock this is a great photo mate...Excellent!!!...:)
