Bristlecone Pine Series 1, Mount Goliath : Bristlecone Pines are among the oldest living organisms on earth and some of the most beautiful trees I've seen.  Here in Colorado there are some that are 1500 years old; in California lives Methuselah, a bristlecone pine that's more the 4400 years old.  Their rugged beauty comes from the ability to survive in extremely harsh conditions - dry, thin atmosphere, relentless winds and frigid winters.  Parts of the tree can die during a typical lifespan giving more nourishment to the healthier areas of the tree, thus extending its life.

This is part of an ongoing project for me which will include views in fall, winter and spring and hopefully a trip or two to California and other locations where the bristlecone grows.

Sculptures Made by Water : One day in May, 1968, an explosion opened a crack into a magical and fantastic world hidden beneath the ground in the middle of the Judean Hills. According to geologists, the Soreq cave was formed around 25 million-years ago, when the mountainous range of the Judean Hills rose up above the surface of the water. Because these layers of limestone and dolomite rock were displaced and folded with time, cracks formed which allowed water to enter and dissolve some of the rock. This water was converted into acid when seeping through the cracks and flowing through the soil, it absorbed carbon dioxide from the roots of the plants and the surrounding decay. These processes are called "Karst" and helped with the cave expansion process.
These pictures were taken in 1987, originally slides and digitized recently.
