Woman spends 14 years photographing world's oldest and most amazing trees
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."
