"The Big Tree is Nature's forest masterpiece and so far as I know, the greatest of living things".J. Muir
It would have been such an experience to have watched Ansel Adams take this picture of the Jeffrey Pine that was at that time alive on the top of Sentinel Dome in Yosemite. Adams work is an inspiration to artists and outdoor folk who all appreciate what he was able to see with his eyes and capture with his imagination.
This same Pine is no longer alive and as we saw the other day actually has some carvings on it made by some unaware persons. Is that really how we want to be in the wilderness?
The Pine had, and still has, a character that Muir reflects upon in his quote...
I wonder if we could accept a lesson from such presence.....
