The National Park Challenge I'm a part of in the Printmaking Forum on WET CANVAS has really kept me busy coming up with a variety of scenes. This print is from the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of California.
This grove of Bristlecone's contains Methuselah, the oldest known living thing on this planet. At 4700 years old, it's life spans the rise and fall of some of the greatest civilizations known to man, including the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. It's more than double the age of Christianity and over 20 times older than our country.
This print is of another tree as Methuselah is not identified in order to protect it from trampling, vandalism, etc.

Holey buckets you are so amazing! I love this tree print! Gorgeous!
Very nice. It has a very anthropomorphic feel to it, which seems true to life with those trees.
