The Spike
Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is one of the most awe-inspiring places I know. The oldest trees in this area were already standing 3000 BC., when the Egyptians were building the great Pyramids.
The most famous tree in the area is highly over-photographed and it can get very crowded there. As my last post flic.kr/p/JtfUjT shows, I could not resist capturing it as well, but while all photographers I met there, headed back to their cars after capturing it, I continued further up the trail to shoot some trees nobody seemes to care about. One of them, a tree I already noticed during my visit in 2016, I think of as “The Spike” ever since.
