The tree is probably a little less than 10 meters high and is located on a very windy ridge a few hundred meters up from the nearest road. Pine beetles have infected trees close to this area so the government has done controlled burns on large expanses of the pine forest. They have not burnt this area near Whirlpool Point because these are the oldest trees in Alberta, over 1000 years old. It is amazing that a tree like this in such extreme conditions would survive that many years. Thanks for all the comments.

I like the monochromatic effect. I like the angle at which it has been taken. but I would have given it more shades to get out more the dramatic effect. Very characteristic shot.
