Tim- Wow! Just think how many there'd have been, had there been few or no lightning strikes! It's not enough that they've got one of the harshest environments imaginable, but lightning too!
I would imagine that they burn pretty hot, with as much pitch as they put out! Do you recall whether it was live ones or dead ones that were being lightning struck? -Don Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:23:05 -0500 Subject: Re: [ENTS] Re: ancient eastern redcedar shots From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Don: For a few weeks, I worked on many lightning strike fires located on the Sierra Nevada mountains. All the trees that got hit were very large bristlecone pine and they were difficult to put out.

You travel in some great places and you do a excellent job capturing the moment.

You'd asked in earlier post for 'the bigger picture'...so I'm attaching an image I took that includes the single shot I just sent, but with a wider angle setting (I'm still using a six year old Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital). In it you'll see the original subject, quite small, in the upper right fourth of the images lower left quadrant, just about to be hidden by the full crown of another bristlecone. While the next installment will be mostly images, I am putting together a bigger paper that gets much more into ecosystem that bristlecones are a part of. -Don > Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:03:47 -0800 > Subject: [ENTS] Re: ancient eastern redcedar shots > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > > Don nice shot.
