Pretty cool image

This image of a giant redwood tree, is composed of many images so they could get the whole thing in one shot.

Do you know what, I saw the picture on the front of the magazine the other day, where the guy was climbing up it. You could have parked a car in there if you made a hole - and this must have been 50ft up! Never knew that they got that .. HUGE

And I'm a Forestry student too! (want to adopt me? I'll send you a picture of a tree every Christmas with a little note saying how I'm doing.)

Northern CA is spectacular, especially the 'lost coast' area. Great picture

Thankyou. Great picture. Awesome, in fact.

Roadkill,

this is why i fell in love with california. i am slightly clostrophobic...used to outdoors stuff--on the east coast, with it's
cramped and root-veined paths...pebbles to slide down, stepped terraces for stumble down, etc...
no complaints, but it is a work in 'concentration'. when i went out west, i found forest paths of red earth that were as
wide as streets, enormous trees that stretched up and had the thickness compatible with the paths. you have no
idea just how much i exhaled.

nice picture. i remember seeing a mother bear and her cubs in a forest that had trees like this--i almost shat m'self,
as an aside...but there was plenty of room to go the other way, right. i love the size of such forests. where is it you are
based out of??? are you on the west coast?

I'm in central florida just outside Tampa, but I spent 4 years out west when I was in the Air Force. I loved the west and I really miss it. It was deffinetly really cool. I to love the outdoors and use to go hiking in the desert at night. Freaky but cool as shit.
