In awe...
Looking up at the top of this old tree is difficult. Between the texture of the bark and the intricate branches of the tree, your vision becomes lost the more you try to focus towards the top.
"An impressive tree by any standard, the Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboidesis) relatively carefree and fast-growing. Its fine, feathery leaves are certainly a standout feature, and even though this tree is deciduous, it produces rounded cones. The dawn redwood was long thought to be extinct — with evidence of its existence found among dinosaur fossils — until it was discovered alive and well in a rural, mountainous area of China. It is now grown worldwide."
