Opa, Bowen Island, 24 vi 06

The two humans seen in this picture are less than a metre tall; an adult human standing by the child in the red shirt would come up to the wrinkly feature on the left of the trunk.

The tree in the center of the picture is Opa, a 500-year-old Douglas Fir. Opa's lowest branches, perhaps forty feet above the ground, are as large as the bases of any of the other trees in the immediate neighbourhood.
