Gary DuBose of Seneca took this shot of the venerable Angel Oak on Johns Island in April 2008.

He writes, “The Angel Oak, located near Charleston, is one of the largest live oaks living in the world. An impressive sight, the spread of its limbs has a diameter of over 160 feet and the tree itself is thought to be almost 1,500 years old. It had been living for 1,000 years before Columbus landed in the New World.”
