Great picture. Cool to be able to photograph yourself among giants.

Nice elderly red huckleberry among a grove of coast redwoods. These old huckleberry add a nice texture even in winter after leaves have fallen.

Those trees are so alike to each other, they almost look photoshopped.

It stands out because so many trunks are so straight. There's not much damage in this area. In fact, it continues down a hill and around a corner to a huge flat that has many more trunks and ferns looking just like this. Just flat. Almost tailored by nature for a redwood wedding.

A small part of me can't help thinking how fine those would be to log.

Been a logger for too many years, I guess.

But as you well know, it is only a very small part.

Great idea and wonderfully done.
That one is a winner, Mario.

That's a great photo until the iridescence of Stigs bar oil washes through from him logging the area flat.

Surprisingly, I do pull over to let others pass about 50% of the time. But I commonly move along using every mph available ... the other 50% of the time.

Indeed they will, Willie. There's no end to it.

Another couple following their redwoods wedding. The groom particularly enjoyed hollow burned-out trunks and stopped to enter several of them. They traveled from Florida. The bride has never experienced an autumn in her life. Her first autumn experience was the redwood coast.
