Lone Cypress Tree


Lone Cypress Tree, originally uploaded by IvanoMak.

Any golfer will recognize this tree, and if not, this person should not be called a golfer. This, of course, is the Lone Cypress Tree, which is also a symbol of the Pebble Beach Golf Resort. No, I did not have $1,000 laying around to play a round there, but we did spend a great day in the area.

It is considered among the 10 most magnificent trees in the world, and rightfully so. It is 250 years old, and access to it is currently closed. The tree is now supported by cables with a hope that it will live to its birthday no. 300. What's amazing is that it's alive right on the rock, which is typical of these trees you may often see in this part of California.

Other pictures from the day there will be posted in the following days, so stay tuned.
