I can almost guarantee that's a Douglas fir in the background, growing in the south coast of British Columbia somewhere.

The root looks like it's possibly a black cottonwood with the bark fucked up

The mountains are the coast range.

Source, I very likely live in the zone the photo was taken.

It looks similar to driftwood to me. Which means it came from upstream

If it’s a real photo.

That's the ocean, there is no upstream

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 13 hours ago

I don’t think that’s the ocean man, lol. It’s at least a small inlet or something. And where are there mountains that tall visible from the ocean shore?

Dude, I live in this zone. It's called coastal BC

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 13 hours ago

Okay cool. But the water in the photo looks like a lake, not ocean, maybe a bay or something protected by a peninsula?

[-] Heliumfart@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

You're right the water doesn't look super oceany, but the wet rocks in the back make me think it's tidal.

Lol, now I want to find that exact place in Google earth. But I don't think I have the time.

The entire coast of bc looks like this for hundreds of kms. It's all very fjord like. If I was gonna pull a random place outta my ass, I'd guess the desolation sound area. Google image search will show you lots of similar looking country.

No I believe you… I was arguing I thought this was a real photo and not ai lol

[-] Heliumfart@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

It won't be long until we can't tell at all, it seems.
