A tunnel to the past
This evocative photo of a cypress-lined road was taken in Point Reyes National Seashore, a marine and coastal reserve under the care of the National Park Service in the US. A portion of the park preserves the marine habitat in the harbours along the coast of the Point Reyes Peninsula on California's central coast. Inland, the area’s grasslands, marshlands, and wooded uplands present a notably diverse collection of landscapes – including the cypress tunnel.
