wow i like your post

I've never seen a tree look this old and it's still not giving up. Wait...did it turn itself inside out?

5066? I think it slightly past it's peak 😆

I think this is the oldest single living tree. There is another 'tree'- actually a forest of trees connected under ground by their roots which is meant to be 10,000-30,000 years old. I think this is the oldest living organism on Earth.

Very narly lol

beautiful photo.

This is one beautiful tree.
Great Photograph!

Woah! That is the coolest thing!
