Old Juniper Tree

Taken just after sunrise, near the Garden of the Gods Park Colorado Springs, Colorado. USA.

I think this is a Rocky Mountain Juniper.

Junipers grow very slowly. A juniper standing only five feet tall may be 50 years old. Junipers typically live from 350 to 700 years, with some even passing the millennium mark. Despite their longevity, junipers rarely exceed 30 feet in height or three feet in diameter.

I would really like to know how old this juniper is?

This is a repost of an old image. This time no HDR just lightroom and PSE12 for the post work.
