These are obviously very old trees growing in the middle of a large lake. A perfect roost for fish eating birds.
Cypresses are everywhere Tuscany, and so are roads that wind their way in serpentines across the hilly landscape. The combination of these two gives breathtaking subjects.
Zypressen sind in der Toskana allgegenwärtig, ebenso wie Straßen die sich in Serpentinen durch die hügelige Landschaft schlängeln. Die Kombination dieser beiden ergibt atemberaubende Motive.
17 Mile Drive
Monterey Peninsula
California
Happy Tree Tuesday! I hope this iconic tree will survive many, many years. The crumbling cliffs have been shored up with rock walls, and I suspect the root system has been compromised. But the Lone Cypress has been a feature of the 17 Mile Drive for decades.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all. Take care and stay safe!

Happy Slider Sunday!
Was able to meet a favorite cypress after all these years. The little cypress is 18 - 20 ft tall. Swoon.
Miles and miles of shoreline at Lake Verret that looks just like this. You need a keen eye to spot the wildlife living in those swampy areas from a moving boat!

These trees, once near extinction, occur naturally only on the Monterey Peninsula and on Point Lobos south of Carmel, California. They can reach a height of 70 feet (20m) and live about 300 years. Their popularity may have saved them from extinction. People attempt to grow them around the world. This particular tree is actually trademarked and no photos, paintings, or images and likenesses of any type are supposed be sold for commercial purposes without permission of the Pebble Beach Company.

The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.
The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.
The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.
But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.
Visitors can still enjoy the breathtaking views of the Lone Cypress Tree from designated lookout points along the 17-Mile Drive. The scenic drive, which winds along the coast and through the Del Monte Forest, is a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. In addition to the Lone Cypress Tree, the drive offers stunning views of rugged coastline, picturesque beaches, and luxurious mansions.The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast.

"In this setting... and only here -- always within half a mile of high tide, and along a few winding miles of shoreline -- grows natively the Monterey Cypress, perhaps the rarest, certainly the most fantastic tree of North America. This species is in fact confined to two groves, the one at Cypress Point north of Carmel, and the other at Point Lobos State Park, just south of it." -- Donald Culross Beattie
