This is a shot of some Limber Pines on an Outcrop at Whirlpool Point. One of the oldest trees in Alberta is here. It has been dated by growth rings to over 600 years old... but the center of the trunk is dead and rotten, so the experts aren't sure exactly how old it is. Possibly as much as 1000 years. I'm not sure exactly where that specific tree is, but many of the trees at this location are very gnarled and very old. I took this shot back in June when my friend Rob and I were exploring in the area. It was part of the recent batch of Acros film that I developed.
