The amazing tree in today"s image is the Kalaloch Tree of Life, gracing the shores of Kalaloch Beach in Olympic National Park, Washington, USA. Seemingly defying gravity, this towering Sitka spruce measures over 53 metres tall, is nearly 1000 years old and clings to the sides of a small gully. Beneath its sprawling roots lies the Tree Root Cave, a hidden den where a gentle stream flows into the Pacific Ocean. The soil under the tree is slowly being worn away by the stream, yet, somehow, the Tree of Life continues to grow. Given its will to live, it"s easy to understand how this tree earned its nickname.
