Description
Bill in the redwood forest
May, 2016
Another attempt to show redwood trees. A futile pursuit, I know, but they're so amazing!

These are such massive trees - and they've seen thousands of years pass by. Truly amazing! This does give a good feel for the size of these amazing trees - wonderful photo, Tara!

A very admirable effort. I've engaged in this futility myself many times & have never been fully satisfied with the results. The best one I've ever seen was a very large foldout in National Geographic. I believe this was it & it's composed of 84 photos that were stitched together: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/redwoods/gatefold-image

John Muir likened a redwood forest to being in a cathedral. Your image illustrates that thought very well.

WOOW! These trees are HUGE!!! No wonder if you feel very little in that forest. I would have loved standing there and ( for once) say: " Gosh! I feel tiny"
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments to my Loose Painting/Collage. Yes, it would have been great fun to be with you to"Senior Day" at your local art museum. I can imagine all the fun you had

Great photography of one of nature's wonders.

This photo, and Mark's comment, reminds me once more of a scathing comment on an essay I wrote when I was eleven where I referred to 'the echoing pines'. Miss Lee my English teacher had scrawled across the words... "Pines cannot echo !".
Probably scarred me for life, but made me excellent at precis!

How impressing to discover this, my friend. Here we realize once again how insignificant we people are in this grandeur of nature.

Fabulous capture, Tara. I don't think any camera can show just how big these trees really are

Great capture Tara. Walking among the trees makes me feel as if I were in a cathedral!

Cool, I'd love to see that. One day, I'll go there for a hiking trip, but I might have to wait at least 4 more years.

Having never seen the redwoods, I can only approximate them in my mind. Whether this captures the in-person grandeur or not, the image is soaked in deep blue shadows, and a rich growth; that, broken up by the beautiful dappled light on the path and lower growth, and of course in the upper portions where the sky comes through. A real poem of light and shadow. The center trunks break the image perfectly, as does Bill. (I wouldn't have guessed that was him!) A beautiful solo human and vast forest shot.
