this was taken in the white ountians in Calif at about 11000 feet the tree is a bristlecone pine the oldest living trees around and yes it was a very hard shoot but I got some niece shoot we spent 4 days up there and the wind was blowing and it was cold around 0 at nite but all in all had a great time . hope to do it again some day.
