"Never to get lost is not to live, not to know how to get lost brings you to destruction, and somewhere in the terra incognita in between lies a life of discovery."
........ Rebecca Solnit

"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine."
........ Isabel Allende

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

"The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes...."

Arrayan trees in Llao Llao national park

(viewed 740 times)

no bark, some 150 years old, cold to touch, gorgeous orange-brown, very high and bend in the wind (they'd not survive long if they didn't)

Is that "Llao Llao" double-L a "Welsh" thing?

hi Joker,
it's a Spanish language corruption of a Mapuche word - the Llao Llao is a kind of nut from the local trees that is supposed to be great to eat (I didn't like them), and the 'll' is pronounced with a g- or j-sound

the trunk (2nd shot) is amazing!

it is, isn't it Elphs. I couldn't really do it justice, but they call it the local grandfather and it's the oldest Arrayan tree in the neighbourhood.

There are more, and older trees deeper in the forest but I only had half a day so there wasn't enough time to get there
