National Geographic Travelさんのインスタグラム写真 - (National Geographic TravelInstagram)「Photo by @MichaelGeorge / Down a dusty dirt road there is an ancient droopy tree known as the Angel Oak. Located near Charleston, South Carolina, her branches dive in and out of the earth like a serpent in the ocean. Early one morning I arrived to take her portrait. She holds the title of the oldest tree east of the Mississippi River and is thought to be one of the oldest living things in the entire United States. It is estimated that this southern live oak is in excess of 400 to 500 years old, though some contend that she is 1,500 years old.
