Big tree


Rico's friend Kelley forwards this:
Not every tree has a nickname, but the President has earned it. This giant sequoia stands at 247 feet tall, and is estimated to be over thirty-two hundred years old. The trunk of the President measures twenty-seven feet across, with two billion needles from base to top. Because of its unbelievable size, the tree had never been photographed in its entirety, until a team of National Geographic photographers worked, along with scientists, to try and create the first photo that shows the President in all its glory. Climbing the tree with pulleys and levers, they took thousands of photos. Of those, they selected 126 and stitched them together electronically, to get an incredible portrait of the President
