White Pine stands strong
long after it has stopped
producing Oxygen
Trees produce oxygen for many years over their life span. While they produce oxygen they also store a great amount to carbon.
This tree has a large amount of carbon stored, which it is slowly releasing as it rots. Eventually this tree will fall and over many years return to the earth.
This tree was captured by the google street view camera a couple of summers ago.
I have been watching the contrast of dead branches on the skyline every time we travel the highway. I wonder if I will get a picture of it after it falls, or will it still be standing long after I am not?
