Wonder why they call it the Angel Oak??? My imagination isn't seeing an angel.
ReplyDeleteI find branches like that that swoop down and grow into and back out of the ground fascinating.
Keetha - the family that owned the plantation was named Angel.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, majestic oak. It looks like a great tree for climbing too.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you showed the depth and perception. This tree reminds me of a few in Audubon Park In New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and impressive oak, I wish you a wonderful 2012.
ReplyDeleteAstounding! I love the different angles you provided because it really gave me a sense of scale.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures. Love looking at old trees. Some time back I posted a photo of the oldest eucalyptus tree near where we live. It was planted in 1859. They give you such a sense of stability, don't they? I really enjoyed your photos. (And have I told you your blog background is great? It is!)
ReplyDeleteHappy 2012!
This tree is incredible!
