The great outdoors is such a wonderful thing, especially when you get to see something new. I took a day off on Tuesday and instead of sitting at the machine and updating my blog, I went out to Muir Woods for the day and hiked among giant trees. Truly awesome. Here's a sampling.
Self-explanatory
The Kent Tree, once Muir Woods' tallest, now feeds the forest floor.Note how small the fence posts (and other trees) look.
Also about 2/3 of the tree's 'height' is out of frame.
It's hard to get a good shot of a 300-foot tree with a 2-megapixel camera phone. I'll post more when I have time to look through my camera. For now, back to work. Oh yeah and anyone with suggestions for stops on the long road through Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and such, fire away. I've got some serious blacktop to burn...
If you can swing it try to get up into the North East Corner of Utah through the Canyons up there and time it for around Sunset the red color with the sun setting is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWord. I was in Arches when I first saw that phenomenon. Something about the sunset on sandstone just ignites the rock with a color and intensity like molten iron. I'll make it there if I can. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think there is this awesome little town called Portland somewhere between Nevada and North Dakota. Just a little swing to the west and you can visit this girl who totaly misses you and would light up like a red sunset to see you. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat? Too far?
How about a post card with a giant tree on it then?
