Here's a link to what purports to be the 10 most magnificent tress in the world.

Many of them are, indeed, magnificent but what I found most inspiring was the number of ways in which the trees were remarkable. From the Bristlecone Pines that have survived everything nature has thrown at them for thousands of years to the Quaking Aspen that is composed of about 47,000 stems spread throughout 107 acres of land, the list highlights the many ways in which the trees survive, thrive and flourish.

I have also uploaded a photo that I use as a desktop picture to a gallery. It's a shot from the Olympic National Forest, featuring fabulous old trees hanging with moss and is just the sort of thing that makes my windowless office bearable.
