A dreamy color saturated photo of an ancient live oak tree in green sunlit forest setting – July 2004.
The Big Tree of Lamar, also known as the Lamar Oak, Bishop's Oak and the Goose Island Oa, is one of the most famous in the world. It is measured to be more than 35 feet in circumference, 44 feet in height and has a crown spread of 89 feet. The Texas Forest Service estimates the tree to be over 1,000 years old. It can be found at Goose Island State Park. Take Highway 35 north out of Rockport, cross Copano Causeway. This print comes with the Bible verse Jeremiah 17:7. "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord...For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters..."
