Now that’s something I don’t get to see every day! A 1,400 years old oak? How beautiful and yet so simple a wonder can just be.

Nature’s amazing surprises impress me more and more every day! This Angel Oak Tree from Charleston South Carolina has got to be one of the most peaceful sights. All those years translate into perfect tranquility for me. I wonder how many more unique and impressive trees are there out in the wilderness still? And how many more will survive the man’s wood thirst? (photo via pixdaus)
