Up, up, up in the White Mountains of California exist a forest of trees that have flourished in the face of high, arid conditions at 11000 feet/3350 m in altitude. Many of these trees live for 5000 years, and even after dying, can remain for 5000 more years, remaining. In other words, it’s quite possible that some trees have been standing for as long as 10000 years, long long before Mick Jagger roamed the earth. 😀 All light/color work was done by illuminating the tree and foreground with an LED flashlight during the exposure, and is not a post-processing creation. -Photo: Ken Lee Photography
I love this tree.
But another thing I remember about photographing this tree is the slippery shale-like rock underneath it, which occasionally made footing, traipsing around in the dark, and balancing the tripod a little more challenging.
