We don’t know how to comprehend the patience required to pass 800 years. This Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) was already 130 years old when the Black Death was ravaging Europe around 1350. The Black Death was estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population and untold numbers elsewhere in the world where population statistics are harder to come by. It is estimated that the global population did not recover to 14th century pre plague heights until well into the 17th century.
Wonder what the world will be like in 2817?
I took this shot in Cathedral Grove, MacMillan Provincial Park using on a Canon EOS 6D Mark II with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens at ISO 100, f/4 aperture, and a 1sec exposure time with a 30.0 mm focal length (32.4 mm in 35mm). Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

I've been here! Seeing those trees in person is very humbling isn't it? Thank you for sharing the photo. I love Vancouver Island...
Its such a beautiful island.
Cool shot! I like how the 1sec exposure captures a bit of movement in the background, making the solid, unmoving tree look even more stable and wise.
How I love Cathedral Grove. I ALWAYS stop for a visit on the way to Tofino! Cheers!
Thanks. I have only been the once to Tofino ! It made me a bit homesick for Australia
Gorgeous shot of a gorgeous tree! Had to comment as I enjoy looking at them everywhere I go.
Lovely detail in this piece, also like the calm 'veil' in the background lights.
Congratulations for your picture!
Kindest regards,
Esa

STOPthank you for the minus upvote bid dude
I hardly even bid on may bid bots for this shot as most were showing up to -40% IRR. Everything I bid on showed positive IRR after I bid; its people blindly piling in at the end without looking at the bot tracker which is the problem.
