It is the most recognizable tree in Poland. A relict pine on the top of Sokolica in Pieniny Mountains.
It is 500 years old but it is very small and grows so slowly that the growth is barely noticeable even in 50 years span.
That is how I will remember it.
In 2018 it was badly damaged by a helicopter used to rescue some unfortunate tourist who had collapsed there and injured their head. The pine lost its upper branch - actually the upper half of the tree. They say that it may not survive the damage.
The tree was not just broken but actually twisted by a powerful whirlwind caused by the machine hovering over the peak.

WZFO Start
Euktar lens (triplet anastigmat)
This shot was taken 50 years earlier, almost to the day.
The negative is in poor state, but it is one of my favorite oldies.
