Angel Oak Tree, originally uploaded by louis dallara photography.
South Carolina’s oldest living oak tree, dating back 1500 years. It’s twice as big as the biggest tree I had ever seen. It’s so massive that supports had to be made so that the branches don’t snap off. It’s a sight to see. Bring your camera, and a wide angle lens to capture this incredible work of nature in full.
“Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs. Our faith gives us knowledge of something better: that we can become oak trees.”
E. F. Schumacher quotes (German born British Economist and Founder of the Intermediate Technology Development Group (1966). 1911-1977)
