This is my entry for ColorChallenge : ThursdayGreen🌿
This photo was taken 2 weeks ago in forest near Medvode, Slovenia.
It's pine tree.
A pine is any conifer in the genus Pinus, of the family Pinaceae. Pinus is the sole genus in the subfamily Pinoideae. The Plant List compiled by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Missouri Botanical Garden accepts 126 species names of pines as current, together with 35 unresolved species and many more synonyms.
Most regions of the Northern Hemisphere host some native species of pines. One species (Sumatran pine) crosses the equator in Sumatra to 2°S. In North America, various species occur in regions at latitudes from as far north as 66°N to as far south as 12°N.
Pine trees are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees (or, rarely, shrubs) growing 3–80 m (10–260 ft) tall, with the majority of species reaching 15–45 m (50–150 ft) tall. The smallest are Siberian dwarf pine and Potosi pinyon, and the tallest is an 81.79 m (268.35 ft) tall ponderosa pine located in southern Oregon's Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.
Pines are long-lived, and typically reach ages of 100–1,000 years, some even more. The longest-lived is the Great Basin bristlecone pine, Pinus longaeva. One individual of this species, dubbed "Methuselah", is one of the world's oldest living organisms at around 4,600 years old. This tree can be found in the White Mountains of California. An older tree, now cut down, was dated at 4,900 years old. It was discovered in a grove beneath Wheeler Peak and it is now known as "Prometheus" after the Greek immortal.

Nice photography

Yes Really,
our GLOBE protection agents are great trees,
Pine having the major role on its own way.
Trees are serving us we are cutting them,
Alas we(men) are the destroyers of our GLOBE!
Wow! Thank you very much @fbslo, I learned with this post more from the pines than in my whole life.
Excellent picture. I wish you the greatest success in the contest.

Great photography!
I'm impressed with your detailed description of what I consider a 'wonder' tree. What got me particularly was the fact that this particular tree had live for 'around 4,600 years old. This tree can be found in the White Mountains of California. '
Good research.
Excellent very interesting information about pines greetings
@fbslo, generally Color Challenges have seen only photographs, but a write up on the picture is one of its kind. Surely it is a great way to appreciate nature in its true sense.
