And a view the opposite direction to the north.

That's a good way to describe it. Here's a more recent photo a few miles south along the Eel River by Felton Grove near Miranda

Oh ... 8.4 million The thread title looked like 8.4 meters and I wasn't sure why the exclamation mark. ...

Morning in Humboldt Redwoods State Park

Years and years ago, at a university campus crew, I recall a man who was in charge of a local college horticulture program, coming over in the summer to help us to "get his hands dirty". He has a Masters Degree in horticulture. We taught him how to use a shovel to dig and move a small shrub about 2 feet tall. If somebody is really an arborist, it simply means they know what the heck they are doing whether they learned in college or got good training elsewhere. I almost equate the term Tree Surgeon with Arborist.

Ran into the problem again aiming for the top level forum page, the link I keep in my bookmarks.

Got slammed with a white data base error page today several times. A few pages. One was the redwood topic I post to, plus again while writing to post on it and trying to go to "advanced" to manage attachments.

Good thing he's alive ... LOL Back a bit in post #104, that man was from South Africa too. Got together Halloween day and November 1st too in the redwoods. Here's a flashback I put on Facebook today too, God Rays early in the morning.

A fallen titan. Looks like it could have been 26 ft. to 28 ft. dbh.

Flashback to an older photo that could also fit the thread title.
-
This one is actually in a redcedar and oak grove, but it fits the forest theme. The woman is fairly short, about 123 centimeters or 4 ft.& 8 in.

In the other redwood thread that's been going since early this year, I've been posting photos about weekly. Here's one of a redwood I call Labyrinth Link > Labyrinth Coast Redwood in Redwood National and State Parks With Chris Atkins
-
This one from Stout Grove seems fitting for the thread.

The last couple days of my most recent redwood visit, I got together with a man who arrived from S. Africa. We found some beautiful scenery in the forest. Most of the heavy rain came Halloween night, so some light intermittent rain during the day brought fairly nice light for photos.

Feel free to share the image. I don't mind as long as folks don't print hard copy prints. But for online sharing, computer wall paper, go for it. Maybe I should make a card or something with that one. Or could even put some small matted prints in a gallery. The woman happened to be camping and had all her gear surrounding her Subaru. I stopped to chat, and didn't say much at all about photography. Then she mentioned one thing in the car was a fairy outfit and that her dream shoot would be a fairy shoot in the redwoods. Then I asked what she had going the next hour and mentioned I had some gear with me. Handy I had a model release with me, so I got that signed. Then will send her a disc with the images. Emailed a few in the meanwhile.

When I photographed Kiera in the redwoods in a dress, at least it was satisfying to know she had been working on the trail crews there for a couple of years. She had a connection with the forest even if some of the photo outfits were elegant.

A fallen redwood Titan .. Named posthumously as "Lost Man's Fault" ... I am on top of the log in a red shirt for scale.

Did meet a woman in Redwood National Park though. Just happened to have a Fairy outfit with her.

Another round of Coast Redwoods. The tree below is "Beautiful Chick" named after the Chickering Grove in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.

My website is around 1,160,000 RE Pagerank, if that still works, and probably does, my index page and redwood pages are 4/10 pagerank Arbtalk showed as a 3/10 or one rung lower. I haven't followed pagerank and a lot of other stuff for a couple of years now because referrals and word of mouth work have been doing fine for me. Although, at least in the redwood niche, the back room of my site, I'd like that to grow legs on the interenet. Presently, if someone searches "coast redwood" or "coast redwoods", I manage to get on the first page around 6th.

Yesterday, I added a new page to my redwood menu under Prairie Creek in Hiking, for a ElK Prairie Trail redwoodhikes.com only ranks it one star. For a couple reasons, including what you just wrote, that I bolded, I gave the trail one or two exra stars. So many people get up around 9am and start late. By getting up a daybreak, you get more sights, and often better quality. I live local, but generally start as the darkness begins to fade away.

I wrote an article page on those at my site called something like Money Grows on Trees For us, that is. Best tree there is to send profit our way. For trees, I like Hornbeam. For shrubs, whatever fits the space. Yew, Camellia, Viburnum are a few favorites.

Something similar to the Felco 23 is the best lopper I've ever owned Felco® F23: FELCO 23 Pruning Lopper, Smaller - PNE Tools Had one for nearly 20 years until it got lost on a project this year. Small lopper though, and mainly for fruit. That really sucked to lose those. Still need to replace it this winter. I use a giant pair of Corona presently only for collapsing limbs. Works good. Otherwise I do not prune with loppers, Faster and better with sharp handsaw and hand pruners.
