The Lone Cypress is a Monterey cypress tree in Pebble Beach, California. Standing on a granite hillside off the 17-Mile Drive, the tree is a Western icon, and has been called one of the most photographed trees in North America. It is located between Cypress Point Club and the Pebble Beach Golf Links, two of world's best-known golf courses. Possibly as old as 250 years, the cypress has been scarred by fire in past years but it still is healthy today. The look of the tree changed significantly when it lost its leftmost branch during a storm in 2019

Saw it in 1956. It has changed so much since them, including the addition of the rock walls. A perfect shot.
