Tāne Mahuta, 2000 years old, is enormous and awe inspiring.
@Miraz Oh, so majestic. It almost looks to be a stone pillar. I went to wikipedia to read about it. Thanks for introducing me! 🥰en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C4... for anyone interested in learning more. 🤓
@Miraz Thanks to all who commented — what I didn't mention is that the effect of the camera is to make it seem smaller! (Terrible Internet connections while we travel so my apologies for such brief and seldom replies. )
@Miraz Oh, and a guide told us that Tāne Mahuta is the tallest kauri in the forest but not the oldest at 2,000 years. The oldest is 2,500 to 3,000 years old but squatter. Next trip we'll visit that one. Also, apparently about 100 species live in that canopy way up there, including a couple more mini-sized kauri trees!
