User / Kurt Lawson / Heavy Snow in the Giant Forest
Kurt Lawson / 1,902 items
The largest single living tree by volume on the entire planet sticks out effortlessly amid heavy snowfall in Sequoia National Park on a spectacular winter day. Like my trip a few weeks earlier to Yosemite National Park, the stars aligned for me to experience the transformation of this park in the snow. The General Sherman tree truly is superlative. In this 70mm view from a ways away, the photographic challenge of capturing it is clear. However the lack of slope and branches in the lower half of the tree make it seem like a skyscraper. It stands as a giant red monolith in the forest, with the tops or discernible slope in its shape only visible by tilting one’s head way up. The old giants really do stick out and are accented dramatically by covering the reddish brown dirt with white. The snowfall muffled the sound to dead silence, with only the occasional bit of wind interrupting.
