Is the Lone Cypress Really Lonely?

Official symbol of Pebble Beach and one of most photographed trees in North America

Standing on a granite hillside supported by steel cables the lone cypress — a twisted tree looks lonely in its lankiness maybe still mourning the loss of its limbs in the 2019 storm.

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean the lone cypress has lived and loved life for the last 250 years, has generated its own gravitas, has bartered and battled with time in an attempt to defend its loneliness even when being photographed ad infinitum by tourists like me with one question deeply rooted in our minds: Is the lone cypress really lonely? Or are we trying to cover our own loneliness and bury it deep inside our sinuous souls?

There was joy and melancholy when I first took the picture of the lone cypress during a very fun e bike tour of Carmel’s 17-mile drive together with my wonderful friend Andrea to celebrate our birthdays.
