Yes the first tree is the Lone Cypress Tree near Carmel.

It is the official symbol of Pebble Beach (golf course, gated community etc) on 17 Mile Drive. Looking at the real estate around there would say you need serious money to take up residence.

Hence my corny reference to Clint Eastwood, a past mayor of Carmel.

There is still pic 2

Of added interest, maybe to some, my wife was told by a local that the location under this tree was used as a setting by Elvis for one of his songs /films. However, not be able to find any evidence to support this.
