Distinguished from the bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) by the broadly attenuate (not rounded) base of the pine-cone, each scale of which has no terminal prickle or weak one to only 1 mm, and an amber color to the resin on the pinecone. This pine species epitomizes the many stately conifer tree species of the Sierra Nevada. Along the John Muir Trail, this pine tree is common from south of Mount Whitney in the New Army Pass area north to somewhere just north of Mather Pass. It was not observed north of the Le Conte Canyon area. This site is where the JMT enters the south boundary of the Wallace Creek drainage.
Western white pine was especially common in the area of Palisades Creek, north of Mather Pass, and northward into Yosemite National Park. Five needles per fascicle and long cones and with fairly fragile scales form a distinctive combination. This area is just east of the confluence of the Middle Fork Kings River and Palisade Creek.
Das Heiligtum Madonna ta' Pinu (Blessed Virgin Mary of Ta’ Pinu) liegt etwa 700 Meter entfernt von Ort Għarb auf der Insel Gozo in Malta und gehört zum Bistum Gozo. Die Arbeiten an der Kirche begannen am 30. Mai 1920, am 31. August 1932 wurde sie geweiht und bereits am 10. August desselben Jahres durch Papst Pius XI. zur Basilika erhoben. Die im neoromanischen Stil erbaute Kirche beinhaltet im Innenraum 6 Mosaike, Fenster in 76 Farben und zahlreiche Votivgaben. Der Glockenturm hat eine Höhe von 61 Metern.
Bis heute gibt es jedes Jahr eine Wallfahrt, die auf eine Marienerscheinung zurückgeht. Am 22. Juli 1883 passierte Karmni Grima, eine Frau aus Għarb, die alte Kapelle, die damals an der Stelle der heutigen Basilika stand. Aus deren Inneren habe sie dabei die Stimme der Mutter Gottes vernommen, die sie aufforderte, drei Ave Maria zu sprechen. Karmni Grima sei der Aufforderung nachgekommen, woraufhin auf wundersame Weise ihre schwer kranke Mutter genesen sei.

Scientific name: Pinus strobus
Common name: Eastern white pine
Family: Pinaceae
In pre-colonial New England the eastern white pine easily reached heights over 150 feet, making it very desirable to the British who harvested eastern white pine for ship masts. Its soft, pliable needles are arranged in bundles of five. Producing cones at a very early age, the eastern white pine’s seeds quickly germinate in open areas.
Whitebark pine is common but patchy in occurrence in this area with much variation in the distribution of age-classes (young, middle-aged, and dead and dying comprise most populations) and no (or at least not much in the way of) signs of disease (e.g., blister rust and animal predation of oozing bark). This site lies just north of Pinchot Pass in the the Lake Marjorie basin, Sierra Nevada, Fresno County, California.
