From a board near this lone cypress, " Pearched over the Pacific for hundreds of years. Even though Monterey Cypress prefer this area's rugged, bare, granite headlands, the Lone Cypress is a testament to the hardiness of these trees. It has withstood Pacific storms and winds for roughly 250 years. Fences and cables now offer added protection in the hopes it will live to be 300."
this almost looks like a bonsai tree with a background photo pasted up behind it. Perfection is hard to achieve, but you seem to be shooting for the gold ;)
