Description

In one of the last redwood forests along the Californian coast. Due to heavy logging in the 1800's the vast majority of these majestic forests fell for the green note. Redwoods are the tallest beings on earth and are also real survivors. Their bark is very thick so they can survive wildfires. If a tree should die from fire, lightning strikes, storm damage or the likes, new trees will grow from it's trunk. Only humans managed to decimate them until public funding resulted in the state of California to be able to by most of the last remaining forests and put them under protection.


Location: Boy Scout Trail, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California, USA

Redwoods are fantastic. I'm surprised how well this composition worked but I could immediately see it through my lens.

Ja, wir Menschen sind die besten Natur-Zerstörer.

Hast du auch ein Foto mit einem Menschen drauf als Größenvergeich?

Ja ich habe ein paar. Diese hier sind noch verhältnismäßig klein. Habe ein Bild mit Mensch vom Boyscout Tree (7 m Durchmesser und 72,5 Höhe) und ein paar anderen. Ich werde sie wahrscheinlich nicht hochladen, da man das Gesicht erkennen kann und es auch mehr ein Andenken ist. Falls es dich interessiert, kann ich aber beizeiten eins in den stash laden und dir den link schicken.


Die in diesem Bild sind eher bei so 3 m Durchmesser würde ich schätzen. Einige etwas weniger. Der Trail hier ist ungefähr 1 m breit falls das hilft.

Ja, diese Bäume sind die größten (zumindestens höchsten) Geschöpfe der Welt. Der Größte ist ca. 115 m hoch.

Pretty glad I didn't. Would probably have rivaled all those avalanches a week before.
