BTW ...

 

If anybody has been through Muir Woods, feel free to add some of your photos too. Preferably as attachments.

 

Although Muir Woods redwoods are shorter and the acreage much smaller, it's still well maintained an en route between San Francisco and places like Avenue of the Giants.

 

 

Muir woods was my first taste of Redwoods and gave me the urge to explore further north.

In the next few months, I may travel farther south than usual, but good chance it will be straight down I-5 toward the giant sequoia trees.

Had to look real close at that pic too see that Gerry wasn't usin a crutch, and hadn't broken his foot again.

 

Do you haul a tripod around too Mario?

 

A tripod walkin stick combo perhaps?

Someday, if time allows, I'd enjoy stopping by Ft. Bragg to see a lot more of his photo collection which apparently goes back decades. Only a fraction ever makes it into books.

 

Cheers, MDV

Here's something from northern Humboldt added to my album this week. Brightened the cap to enhance comparison between human and redwood. This is about 12 meters across from side to side.

Without some bright clothing, it's near impossible to show comparison.

Some Avenue of the Giants. My belated holiday post. Christmas 2016 moves into the past here in about 3 hours from now.
