This beautiful pine stands by the wayside on the "Alp Egerten" on a gentle hill. By adapted use of the Alp with extensive grazing, there is a very large diversity of species here.
With the Pico de Teide in the background. At this elevation, about 1900 m above sea level, and in the drought of the relatively recent lava fields, Pinus canariensis grows at its fysiological limits. Higher up the mountains, it is replaced by scrubs and dwarf scrubs of the Spartocytisetea supranubii (in the background right).

The Ta' Pinu Sanctuary, just outside the village of Gharb in Gozo.
The National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu is a Roman Catholic parish church and minor basilica built on the site of a 16th century chapel. The origins of the shrine that stands here now date back to 1883, when a local woman is reported to have heard the voice of the Virgin Mary in the old chapel. In following years, many miracles and acts of grace were reported at the site and the islanders decided to build a larger and more magnificent church on the site. Building began in 1922 and the church was consecrated in 1931. More recently, it has been visited by Pope John Paul II, who celebrated mass here in 1990, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.

Pinus longaeva, Site 5, adjacent to White Mountains Road, N slope of Campito Mountain and east of Campito Meadow, White Mountains, Mono Co., CA, 21 Jul 2019. This site is at about 10,800' elevation.
Setophaga pinus. This is a bird of pine forests in the eastern US. Unlike many other warblers it’s only a short distance migrant with most wintering in the southern US. I was a little late getting on to this bird as the group had spread out. Not quite the shot I wanted but at least it shows the wing bars.
I took this shot up amongst the mountains of Zion with some dear friends this Summer. It will always be one of my favorites.
