Tree of Life, Olympic National Park, Washington, USA

Olympic National Park in Washington, USA, is a pristine sanctuary boasting diverse ecosystems. Visitors can hike through ancient forests, spot wildlife or explore the breathtaking coastline, making it a nature lover"s paradise. The amazing tree in today"s image is the Kalaloch Tree of Life, which is a part of this park. Seemingly defying gravity, this large Sitka spruce"s roots cling to the sides of a small gully. The soil under the tree is slowly being worn away by a stream that flows into the Pacific Ocean, yet, somehow, the Tree of Life continues to grow. Given its will to live, it"s easy to understand how this tree earned its nickname.
