What most people don't know, is that those trees you are shooting are probably in the range of 3,000 years old. They grow so slowly that 100 years of growth does not look any different. Some of the BP trees on the slopes in Bryce are thousands of years old, and the slopes are tens of thousands of years older that that. Makes us insignificant in the time of the universe.

A very long, long trip up there but it was worth it. I want to shoot it again or find some elsewhere. I got them in the morning with a sun star coming through.
Interesting point about the Bristlecone Pine; like the Sequoia, they don't exist anywhere else on the planet.

Been three times... all 50+ years ago! Shot K25 and K64. Slides stored in dark and dry. Still look good for "as taken" photographs.
