A bonsai artist greatest achievement is being able to recreate all that awesome deadwood, this is living art! Upvote!

beautiful photo.

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

This is one beautiful tree.
Great Photograph!

I saw that! Sitting and looking at it got almost spooky when you convince yourself it is still alive and has been there before the Pyramids were built.

Woah! That is the coolest thing!
