What would you do if you came across a
massive tree and couldn't capture it all? It takes you 126 clicks! Mother
Nature is always amazing, and in certain cases, it takes our breath away
Mother
Nature is always amazing and in certain cases, it takes our breath away. One
such amazing occurrence is this magnificent tree which is a gift from nature.
Trees
communicate with one another in their language and style and they give humans
the most basic animal requirements such as oxygen.
We
discovered a story about an ancient tree that took 126 total photographs to
shoot the entire tree. We thought that was outstanding information that you
should know about.
It is known as "The President,"
and it may still be found in Nevada's Sequoia National Park.
Mother
Nature has given us a wonderful gift in the form of this ancient tree. This
huge tree has about 2 billion leaves and stands over 247 feet tall.
The tree,
Mr. President, is too large to fit into a single shot which is why it took so
many clicks to capture the complete tree. However, a tree scientist and his
colleagues completed the job successfully by measuring and taking the photos
inch by inch.
The
President is the world's second-largest tree in terms of trunk volume. The most
noteworthy information about the tree is that it is the world's only known
surviving Sequoia.
In 1923,
this tree was named for President Warren G. Harding.
National
Geographic wanted to capture the entire tree in a single photograph, so they
assembled a crew to create a mosaic of the tree which consisted of 126 images
in total.
The
mosaic was created with a picture editor, and it was a difficult endeavor for
the scientists to produce the full-length image.
They
surmounted the issue, though, and were able to put together a series of images
such that the entire tree could be viewed and appreciated in the end.
The National
Geographic team had to employ a variety of pulleys and mounts to get each photo
but the end result was significant, astounding, and wonderful.
The
tallest tree in the world is the Redwood tree of California, which stands
approximately 379 feet tall. It's also one of the most massive trees. The
photograph of the tree was featured in National Geographic as a five-page
foldout.
