Oh crumbs. How about this:

Oh how marvellous. What a perfect pic-i-nic spot.
|
It's in downtown Santa Barbara, CA. They actually diverted the freeway around it.
(I'm a HUGE fan of the Bristlecones too, Bullitt. Oldest trees in the U.S. So noble.) |
This is a giant Banyan tree in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. I saw it when I was on vacation. It is amazing, but, hard to capture in a picture.

4fingermalone, That sounds like a sexual act. "Hey, baby. What do you want to do tonight?" "Why don't you give me a 4fingermalone?"

I saw that tree as well while there - it is truly majestic.

There's a house in town I've always called Spooky House, that I've always loved. It looks like the cover of a kid's ghost story book. There is a knobby tree in front of it, a large and strange thing, and once when the house was for sale I got the fact sheet and whoever bought it had to agree to keep the tree. I'll have to try to remember to take a picture of it sometime.

We have trees locally here called 'Moreton Bay Figs' which grow outwards like the ones above.
My kids love climbing on them. Here's a pretty small one. They get much larger. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/47/15...c14bfa.jpg?v=0 |
That looks like something out of a fantasy movie
|
Some of them are pretty spectacular that's for sure.

There are Moreton Bay figs in Adelaide's parklands and even around the cricket ground, at the back of the stand, providing shade for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of cricket watchers. I hope some are still there, there has been a fair bit of development.
ETA, google search indicates only a few token trees have been left, and the crowd now sit in the shade of the giant TV screen. But, I do love ancient gum trees. Attachment 23884 Attachment 23885 |
