Oak Ridge Time Lapse

"Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!"
John Muir
This White Oak (Quercus alba) is well over 400 years old. When Tchaikovsky wrote the Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies in 1892 the tree was already 300 years old, but the stars dance like a ballerina in sync with the movement of music.
