Souvenir Photo of Man and Woman at the Wawona Tree

Souvenir Photo of Man and Woman at the Wawona Tree
A photo of people in or by distinctive trees for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

A man and woman pose with their automobile at the Wawona Tree, a giant sequoia in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park, California. The sign on the left says, "Wawona, diameter 26 feet, height 227 feet, roadway cut in 1875" (Wikipedia, however, indicates that 1881 was when the opening was cut through the tree).

The Wawona Tree fell to the ground in 1969 after a heavy snowfall. It was about 2,300 years old.

Nautilus, Smiley Derleth have particularly liked this photo

Incredible.
I wonder - did they know that a tunnel like this would have no effect on it's stability?
It did last a long time after the cut, so maybe it didn't matter.
What a giant of a tree!

De nos jours, avec la sensibilité écologique, on ne percerait plus l' arbre pour faire passer des voitures ! Belle photo ; l 'homme fait " moderne" , mais pas la femme .
