Wow, that's an amazing click!
Thank you so much, Rachna. 🙂
Nice. I saw a similar one in Gokarna. A coconut tree jutting from the rocks.
Amazing, alle?
Cool click!
Thank you, Magiceye. 🙂
17-miles drive is beautiful! Lone cypress at sunset is one beautiful sight!
Yeah it is. We did the drive twice. I'm sure anybody who loves the sea (and seaside drives) will love the drive. I'm sure Lone Cypress looks great at sunset; must see that sometime. You have pics, Kusum? I'll come by and look for it. 🙂
Nature continues to amaze me……..
Pretty amazing, right?
The lone tree has also been braving the sea winds all these years.
Wow, its nice photo and info
thanks
Thank you, Krishna.
Wow! That is one long life!
At times like this I strongly wish trees could speak.
Yeah, pretty long life. What's interesting is that it has lived this long in that rocky area and fought all those strong ocean winds.
Very nice picture, Divya!
Thank you Mr. Bhatia.
I hope you are doing well. 🙂
Nice ! Have been there last year and it's a beautiful view as you captured. I loved the 17 Mile drive where this tree is located. I had shared a few pics of Lone Cypress and 17 Mile drive – http://phototravelings.blogspot.in/2013/02/17-mile-drive-is-scenic-road-through.html
Welcome back VJ. And thank you. 🙂
That IS a cool drive is it not? We did it twice.
Thank you for that link. I would love to check it out.
How poetic! I loved it!
I'm not surprised you see poetry there. 🙂
Thank you so much, Amit, for coming by and leaving a comment. I hope you are doing fine.
Great capture and I second AmitAag. The image is a great prompt for poetry 🙂
