ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Bristlecone pine is the oldest living non-clonal organism on earth and, if trees could speak, they might tell us of a slightly different sky than the one we see now. As yet unnamed, the oldest tree is a little over 5,000 years old and was just a sapling when the star Thuban was the pole star and when the Egyptian pyramids were being built.

I found and photographed an ideal combination of three bristlecones where one frames perfectly the other two.
