A Dream Fulfilled

About this photo:

Inyo National Forest, California (September 2005) Patriarch Grove - The grove is the home of the world's largest Bristlecone Pine, the Patriarch Tree, which are thought to reach an age far greater than that of any other single living organism known, up to nearly 5,000 years. The Bristlecone Pine Forest is located at 10,000 feet and it's splendid remoteness and moonscape appearance gives the Patriarch Grove a surreal atmosphere. Bristlecone pines and limber pines dot the landscape with a background view of the Great Basin in Nevada.
