behold the ancient giants! 🌲

Hi comrades!

Today i'm gonna talk about the ancient ones, those who resist the passage of time, they have seen many empires fall, and to this day they still don't resign themselves to falling into oblivion.

To begin this journey i introduce to you the oldest three on earth called "Old Tjikko" believe or not this three is a 9.560 years old norway spruce 😲

Old Tjikko

How did it survive? the answer is vegetative cloning. The remaining standing three has about 4.000 years old, but the entire three has nearly 9.560 years old. The age of the three was determinated by carbon dating.

The next oldie is called "Matusalen" a Pinus longaeva with 5.048 years old, is the oldest known living non-clonal organism on earth.

Matusalen

To finish, Chile is not left behind in this race of time, we have our lovely Fitzroya cupressoides, also known as Lahuán or Alerce, this is the oldest three in Chile with  3.500 years old, and whose trunk is 4.26 meters in diameter, a millenial witness, think about it, when columbus arrived to america he was nearly 3.000 years old, and he stayed that way, standing, with his inner peace intact to this day, and it's our duty to keep it that way.

post 3: Music!

hi bloggers! today i'm going to write about my favourite music, well, i think music as a expression of the soul, so we have a bad called music for commercial use that don't have soul, and for this case i will pass away this kind of  "music". the last though leads me to listen a wide range of music, with a variety of genres, bands like los jaivas, frank zappa and the mothers of inventions, genesis, rush, the doors, la maquina de hacer pajaros, daft punk, pearl jam, sigur ros, sepultura, etc. i could be writting about band names all the day but today im gonna write a little about frank zappa. his career lasted until the day of his death, during 30 years and he released more than 70 albums!!, during that time he was called "the musical hysteria" a name that fits perfect on him, his musicians didn't have time to relax, and some music critics said that the genre wich frank zappa plays was progresive rock but he told them instead, that he only plays his...
