About this postcard

A gnarled Jeffrey pine leans from a bare granite ledge on the summit of Sentinel Dome, its trunk bent sharply to the right and its branches spreading sideways. Snow-streaked peaks and scattered clouds fill the distance behind it. The printed caption identifies the tree as one of the most photographed in the world.
