The gorgeous night sky, largely free from light pollution, as seen - TopicsExpress



          

The gorgeous night sky, largely free from light pollution, as seen from the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. 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, its quite possible that some trees have been standing for as long as 10000 years, long long before Lucille Ball roamed the earth. :D It was cloudy when I took this set of photos, giving a slightly more eerie, surreal sort of feel in many of the images. Nikon D610. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks! As always, more information is in the captions.
