"The beginning of wisdom is the same as its attainment: wonder. The truest statement in the world is 'you never know.' There is always something to evoke wonder, to wonder about, because this world, this life, this universe, this reality is far more than just the sum of its parts. Even the slightest detail contains much more. The overwhelming awe and wonder we feel teach us more than we can ever glean or come to know of things. In the presence of that wonder, the head has no answers and the heart has no questions." - Richard Wagamese, "Embers: One Ojibway's Meditations", p. 99.
One of the things I love about so many of the photos you all post on Flickr is that they evoke a sense of Wonder in our world, right down to a macro of the smallest insect!

“Wisdom”
Patriarch Grove, the northernmost end of the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, is set at 11,000 feet and is home to the highest elevation bristlecone pines in the world. Due to its high elevation, the bristlecones here are much younger than the trees located in other parts of the forest (the bristlecones slowly migrated higher in elevation with the receding of ice coverage following the last ice age). But the windswept environment has sculpted many of these trees into much more fantastic formations than many of the other trees in the forest.
I made this image in June 2018 and was not happy enough with the colors to have shared before now. Perhaps the overwhelming number of star trails images being shared that conform to a certain new style popularized by Aussie photographer Lincoln Harrison might have been the reason. There is nothing wrong with this style but a lot of folks have started to copy it which makes it a bit stale.
180 exposures went into this and there were a lot of airplanes flying through which made post processing painful.
This place is truly one of a kind and takes you back in time with all those trees predating several religions, countries and cultures around you reminding us of our sheer insignificance.

Wisdom Path is a little known tourist attraction on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The 260 word prayer is on 38 wooden rectangular beams. The beams are in the shape of a figure eight to represent infinity. If anyone knows how to read Chinese, please tell me what that says : )
