Redwood Canopy
I think this is a maple tree taken in the Redwoods National and State Parks. I wanted to show how far up the canopy is in the forest because of the redwood trees. They can reach up to 300 feet in height and the other trees have to grow very tall to compete with the sunlight. The forest is so dense that little light comes down to the forest floor. Only plants that can survive on less light grow on the ground. The dominate plants were ferns that added to the magical feel to the forest.
