The Lonely Cypress - a photo on Flickriver

The Lonely Cypress

            On our last day, we drove over to California 1 - one of the most famous roads in America - for a little drive. Between Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea, sits the "17 Mile Drive" - a coastal toll road that moves along the coast. The most famous portion of the drive is the famed Pebble Beach Golf Course, but the second most famous stop is this - the Lone Cypress. 

The tree is a Monterey cypress tree (it's the one on the right - so not entirely lonely). Standing atop a granite headland overlooking Carmel Bay, the tree has become a Western icon and has been called one of the most photographed trees in North America according to Wikipedia. Of course, there's that Burr Oak in Dillon, IL - now rechristened the "Lonely Burr Oak".
