This majestic Monterey Cypress tree stands as a silent sentinel at the southern end of Carmel Beach, its distinctive silhouette dramatically framed against the golden-orange glow of the setting sun.

With its wind-sculpted branches reaching outward like a natural canopy, this tree belongs to one of the rarest cypress species in the world, native only to the Monterey Peninsula.

Each evening, as the sun descends toward the Pacific horizon, the tree’s intricate branch structure creates a stunning natural artwork against the colorful sky. The cypress has likely witnessed thousands of breathtaking sunsets over its long life, standing resilient against the constant salt spray and coastal winds that have shaped its form over decades.

A highly collectible edition of 95. For larger prints, please call the Galleries for pricing.
