Jamtland: Lone Pine & Great Lake Monster
Copyright ©2005, T Sundvisson
In old times the merchants met here and took a drink, and resting the horses. The alcohol was strong, so sometimes they probably took a long break here. Therefore it may be observations from this vista point of the Storsjöodjuret (the Great Lake Monster).
In Sweden you find several famous trees like this one, and they are all called "suptall". The latin name is "Pinus silvestris", and locally we are using the Norwegian name "furu". This one is located near the 1.3 km long bridge at Sannsundet in the lake Storsjön in the county of Jämtland.

Pine tree, forest pine, Scotch pine, Scots pine, Swiss mountain pine, Norway pine
Yes, I believe it is a "pinus silvestris", definitely it's not a spruce. The harsh climate here with long cold winters and strong winds near the Great Lake, forms the character of these trees and in the old days also the people (vikings). Since these trees contains lots of pine resins they do not rotten, they just dry out like this one.
I have another view of this tree here:
