I like the older trees...they seem to have lots more character than the teenagers! Beautiful photo James, thanks for sharing!
There is a tree near where I grew up that is called the "Jardine Juniper". As I recall, it is over 3200 years old .....and it looks it! I'll have to take the hike up there someday and try a photo or two. When I do, I'll get the actual estimated age as well. It is truly mind boggling how old some trees can get.
Cheers,
Tyler
PS - I found a link to a site with a photo of the tree. Here it is:
