„Bristlecone Pine and the Cosmos“

from the gallery of Lee Rentz
Description:

The Bristlecone Pine, found in the highest mountains of North America's Great Basin, has the longest lifespan of any tree on earth, with some individuals living 5,000 years. This Bristlecone Pine had died years--perhaps centuries--before I took this photograph; these are its ancient roots. My interest in taking this photograph was to place the old tree in the context of the cosmos, so I photographed it so that the stars would appear in the distance.
