Just dont like long flights  🙁  but the region is astonishing. K

A couple years ago, I met two men from England who flew overseas to see Redwood National Park twice within the year.

Two visitors among many we met this week. The man reminds me of Bono (U2).

Finally back to the redwoods, first time since last November. Didn't realize I had cataracts, and got the eye surgery and stuff squared-away this winter. Here's 2 images merged, taken through a vintage Contax Zeiss 28mm. Many of this year's photos will be done with potential for wall size prints or murals as well as small print or display.

Always a pleasure to see the coast redwoods. Thank you for your great photos of them. Wonderful.

Photo from a few years ago before a metal boardwalk was built through here. Some of the boardwalk was needed, but they sort of went overkill spots, and even worked on wet soil under the trees in winter.

Over 90 meters tall with a 25 meter trunk girth.

Last spring we donated a portrait session and print canvas at a fund-raising dinner for a youth group. Here's the photo the winning bid family picked for a 24 inch x 36 inch print canvas.
