Description
If you come upon a grove of old trees that have lifted their crowns up above the common height and shut out the light of the sky by the darkness of their interlacing boughs, you feel that there is a spirit in place, so lofty is the wood.
~ Seneca (Lucius Annaeus) : Epistles
Old, old trees ... some I understand are about 500 years old .... taken in Lighthouse Park, West Vancouver by the sea ...
