Bristlecone Pine Ebb and Flow
This is a closeup form the Bristlecone Pine forest. Swipe left to see the reference photo and the step by step. You go up and over the Sierras, into the wide open emptiness of the eastern side. As you head out into the desert, you can find this forest at a very high elevation. The trees are ancient- some of them the oldest living things on the planet. Literally thousands of years old. They grow only a little every year, twisting and turning in the wind and heat, sometimes only growing 1” in a century!! I love how these objects in the desert, where there is so little water, look so fluid.
