Jeffrey Pine, Sentinel Dome October 2014 Made famous by an iconic Ansel Adams photograph (below), the Jeffrey pine at the top of Sentinel Dome was probably one of the most photographed trees in the world. Severe drought caused the 400-year-old tree’s death in 1977, and it finally fell in 2003. Now when people take pictures there, they’re standing in front of a lifeless log.
