Lone Cypress, CA
One day on a recent trip to Monterey, we took a trip down 17 Mile Drive and of course, I had to stop and take a picture of this iconic tree. It's had a pretty long life living on top of that rock. Humans have done a lot of things over the years to help extend its life. If you blow up the picture, you can see some of what we've done at the base of the tree. I was kind of surprised by the signs that were posted warning you not to try and make money off of any pictures you take of the tree. The Pebble Beach Golf Course claims rights to the tree, and they don't want you to steal any money from them. So, please don't send me any money for this one. I'll have to give it to them. :)
