Bristlecone pine tree on a gravelly mountain slope along with similar trees, [s.d]

Photograph of a bristlecone pine tree on a gravelly mountain slope along with similar trees, [s.d]. An oddly shaped tree sits in the center with a wide trunk t the bottom that splits in half and extends up to form two trees that narrow as they get higher. Branches full of small bundles of needle-like leaves protrude out of the tree to the right and left while less full branches can be seen no the top. What seems to be the roots of the tree ooze out of the center and onto either side of the hill while an almost barren hillside can be seen in the background.
