San Francisco photographer, Beth Moon, spent 14 years searching the world for the oldest trees in existance. She has come across some of the most fascinating and admirable feats of nature in her journey, as you can see below.
There is something to be said for their magnificence.
Moon developed these photographs by embedding tiny crystals of platinum in the paper, producing the 3D element and giving them a structure that can last thousands of years. According to Moon, "many of the trees I have photographed have survived because they are out of reach of civilization; on mountainsides, private estates, or on protected land. Certain species exist only in a few isolated areas of the world. I believe these symbolic trees will take on a greater significance, especially at a time when our focus is directed at finding better ways to live with the environment."

Another interesting topic concerning trees to check out :
http://themindunleashed.org/2015/04/study-reveals-the-sad-truth-the...there-are-only-two-truly-intact-forests-left-on-earth We are used to thinking that a forest that is carved up by roads and settlements can still be called a forest. However, the results of a new study suggest quite the opposite, claiming that forest fragmentation has lasting detrimental effects on our planet’s ecosystems. In other words, a fragmented forest ceases to be a good natural habitat for wild animals and plants, which has a long-term negative impact on the ecosystem and the environment in general. Moreover, the study concludes that there are only two truly intact forests left on Earth – the rainforests of the Amazon and the Congo.

Can anyone name the photographed trees and how old they are and where they are ???
Big question only a true tree expert could answer this question
If we could communicate with trees they could tell us true stories of the ancient history of this Planet
