- Beatmiser, on 03/20/2008, -0/+42Anyone have a Hi-Res version? That's astounding and I'd love a solid copy.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -3/+29I love this picture. I came across it on Stumble Upon a couple of weeks ago. I'm using for my wallpaper. I wonder how old this tree is...
- Akaji, on 03/20/2008, -2/+26Can we find out how old you are next?
- padrebuf, on 03/20/2008, -3/+26fern gully, anyone?

- SRSco, on 03/20/2008, -0/+19That actually happened to Promotheus...which was not only the oldest tree, but the oldest non-clonal organism on earth...over 5,000 years old.

shh. - bamafun, on 03/20/2008, -7/+22WOW impressive =)

- Doomsan, on 03/20/2008, -6/+19wallpaper? do you have a 13" screen?
- studdenfadden, on 03/20/2008, -12/+25Lets chop it down, then count the rings and we'll know exactly how old it is.
- Mrdudeperson, on 03/20/2008, -1/+14A treehouse would take away from the beautifulness that is the tree.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 03/20/2008, -0/+13?
- Ockniel, on 03/20/2008, -0/+12These pictures are exactly the dimensions that I was hoping for.
- lgc90, on 03/20/2008, -0/+12way smaller than I thought.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 03/20/2008, -0/+11It's about time we got one.
- joel8x, on 03/20/2008, -0/+11I wonder if Mark posted this on that site or if they are one of those flickr stealing sites. Here is his actual Flickr post: http://flickr.com/photos/markreqs/2159014593/in/se ...
It would be strange of him to promote that ad driven site instead of his own Flickr stream. I'll email him just in case.
FYI, I also have a set of Angel Oak on Flickr here: http://flickr.com/photos/8x7/sets/7215760323061521 ... - Whaines, on 03/20/2008, -1/+11Don't worry. You're not MrBabyMan anyway so it wouldn't make it to the front page.
- arcooke, on 03/20/2008, -1/+11Go away spammer.

- mali1, on 03/20/2008, -8/+17Pillar Of Autumn...
In Amber Clad...
Forward Unto Dawn... - adadadada, on 03/20/2008, -0/+8I would love to see this in person
- fearlessfx, on 03/20/2008, -0/+8damn.. they are blurry as ***** though
- stonebear, on 03/20/2008, -0/+8With trees like this, their own weight is their worst enemy. I remember another magnificent old live oak at the Huntington memorial gardens in California. Arborists had lovingly supported the spreading branches with steel supports and cables as it grew over the years. Finally it got big and heavy enough that a good storm brought the whole affair down anyway. Nothing lasts forever; enjoy things while you may.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -2/+10where is that tree? i want to climb it
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -2/+10best tree i ever saw.

- orangekid13, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6try a tree-apartment complex or treemansion... that is an epic tree
- Fubeman, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6Sorry. It's actually in SOUTH Carolina, not North Carolina. It is impressive though. I was just there last Summer.
- xptweakerntn, on 03/20/2008, -3/+91500 years? Man, if trees could talk, perhaps we could finally find out where Josiah Smith hid them dang tables of Gold!
- dougfir, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6"The Angel Oak is a Southern live oak tree located in Angel Oak Park, in Charleston, South Carolina on Johns Island, one of South Carolina's Sea Islands." (courtesy of Wikipedia)
- NaziHatinChimp, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6Damn I was going to take a pic of this and put it on digg (I live 20 minutes away) but I didn't think it would be worth the trouble. sigh
Anyways I always try to picture what the indians or other explorers thought when they first saw it. It is in Charleston SC on John's Island if you ever want to see it. - StevesJobs, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6Oh, Treebeard.
