Bristlecone pines found in the White Mountains of California are the oldest known living non-clonal trees in the world.

Father Time

White Mountains, California

The hardy, gnarled, and beautiful bristlecone pines found in the White Mountains of California are the oldest known living non-clonal trees in the world, with the oldest identified one being over 5,000 years old. Over the course of a week of exploring the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, I found myself returning time and again to this particular tree. I was fascinated by its twisting, barkless limbs, and the fact that only a small portion of the tree was still technically alive. You don't live for thousands of years without being a master of survival, and one of the ways in which these trees are able to live so long is their sectored architecture. Each root section feeds only the part of the tree directly above it, and as one root dies off due to exposure through soil erosion, only the sector of tree above that root dies. In the tree shown in this photograph under a brilliant sunset sky, the right side has succumbed to exposure and erosion, while the upper left reaches are still clinging to life.

Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Print

The most economical print medium that I offer, Gallery-Wrapped Canvas prints are sleek, lightweight, and easy to handle and hang.
Canvas is wrapped around solid wood stretcher bars to ensure that the print does not warp or bow over time, and a ‘mirror wrap’ is utilized by which the edges of the image get reflected or ‘mirrored’ over the sides of the canvas to avoid losing details near the edges.
These prints are less reflective than metal or acrylic prints, making them an optimal choice for bright rooms with large windows.
