I like the way oaks grow all gnarled. This looks like a Hollywood set.

@shiftrox mentioned to me it looks like a nature reserve from Call of Duty ... and you are both right in that this is the type of place you would film something like that in (and it does happen) because this is one of the last oak stands of its kind. That whole tree is THIS...
Wow. It's very photogenic. I wonder how old it is. It looks like it's been around for awhile. Beautiful!
It survived -- being one of the few -- the 1906 Great Earthquake when many of its mates were cut down for survival needs, and is older than Golden Gate Park, which is 150 years old ... the park was built between the old oak stands to the north and south...
And hidden in plain sight. I discovered this place ONLY LAST YEAR, and literally thousands of people drive by a quarter-mile away EVERY DAY and never even know it is there!
(On the other hand, it's probably good that it is somewhat hidden -- that tree survived BECAUSE ...)
Yes, maybe it's a good idea to keep such places under cover. They've had problems on trails here when too many people show up for the clicks.
I meant the hunter: call of the wild, it's a simulation game in which you're a hunter and you have various reserves: savanna, silver ridge peaks, yukon valley, fernando park, medved-taiga and others. It's a sensational game, one of my favorites. 😍
Thanks for the clarification! The Yukon Valley is just a few thousand miles up the West Coast from me in Alaska, and the silver ridges of the Sierra Nevada just a few hundred miles to my east, so you are still feeling the general locale!
Now, this is a reserve in the middle of a city ... nothing left to hunt here for a century and a half in the Oak Woodlands except maybe the occasional coyotes ... but there is some filming done here ... maybe "Ancient Live Oak Forest" is coming soon to COFW!
Anything is possible haha, but it would be cool to see a place like this in a game, it could be really interesting and fun haha.
