| Image Description: |
The morning after an overnight storm brought fresh snowfall, the largest living single stem tree by volume on Earth basks in the fresh sunshine. The General Sherman tree in the heart of the Giant Forest in Sequoia National Park is not the tallest, widest, or oldest, but at over 52,000 cubic feet it is superlative. At 274.9 feet tall and 36.5 feet in diameter at the base, a nearby information sign says that 6 foot tall human standing where I was looking up at this tree is proportional to a mouse next to a 6 foot tall human. It is forever humbling to stand next to such a tree, which has outlived billions of people in its more than two millennia. For this view I tried to capture the feeling of that proportional mouse by pointing my widest non-fisheye lens up at its base. The 11mm field of view I think encompassed the daunting canopy well as the massive sequoia seems almost to lean over and peer back down at me. Like my trip two weeks prior to Yosemite, it has been a goal of many years to visit Sequoia National Park in the winter, and I finally was treated to a true winter wonderland there. |
