Putting Time In Perspective

We don’t know how to comprehend the patience required to pass 800 years. This Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) was already 130 years old when the Black Death was ravaging Europe around 1350. The Black Death was estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population and untold numbers elsewhere in the world where population statistics are harder to come by. It is estimated that the global population did not recover to 14th century pre plague heights until well into the 17th century.

Wonder what the world will be like in 2817?

I took this shot in Cathedral Grove, MacMillan Provincial Park using on a Canon EOS 6D Mark II with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens at ISO 100, f/4 aperture, and a 1sec exposure time with a 30.0 mm focal length (32.4 mm in 35mm). Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
