This grouping of Big Leaf Maples is such a beautiful sight to behold. My time spent in this amazing temperate rainforest ecosystem allowed me to be able to properly photograph quite a few unique and incredible places. Not many places on this planet measure up to the uniqueness found along the Hall of Mosses hiking trail in the Hoh Rainforest of Olympic N.F.

. . . and nobody was there, would it still make a noise?"
Yes, I think this gigantic Sequoia did make a noise loud enough to be heard for miles around. I don't think I've ever seen a tree this large before. It is likely larger than the General Sherman tree that is the centerpiece of the park. I'm guessing it was over 300 ft tall and had a radius of 10 feet.
These Sequoia have features which guard them from infestation and fire. In fact, fire is what opens their seeds. It is said these trees never die but eventually just fall over because their root system is shallow.

More from the shoot with Bonnie and Jeremy, kind of strange that Bonnie was the least nervous about this one, I have the feeling even their neighbors are a little worried after driving by..

thanks Potopoyo for the awesome title!! merci!
nine days without posting a shot. what a shame. but i've been extremely busy on the concept art side, preparing a second artbook. On a side note, HALO 4 was announced a few days ago by 343Industries. being the lead concept artist on this next chapter is an honor, and yes it does represent a lot of work :)
This photo was taken on La Push Beach, and yes, that tree was truly GIGANTIC. it is not a special effect given by the angle or depth of field. that tree was so big it was unbelievable.

I'm glad I finally got to shoot here.
This tree is not photoshopped, it's really that big and beautiful!
I just wanna say thanks to everyone that said really kind and uplifting things to me yesterday. It made me feel so much better about myself. When people tell me that they think I'm inspiring it's always so hard to believe but it fuels me to try my best.
FINALLY UPDATED glenda365.tumblr.com/
I finally made it to the Redwoods forest in Northern California and had to opportunity to see these giant old trees, which are normally over 1000 years old. They are also the highest trees on the earth, normally over 120 meters tall. They are literally reaching the sky.
The Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) of Meares Island are some of the largest individuals of this species on the planet, with the largest trees dated to between 1000-1500 years old. In the mid 1980s, the Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Council successfully prevented MacMillan Bloedel from logging the island, to the benefit of humanity, as well as countless other species. Evident on the trunks of some of the standing trees is the First Nation practice of cutting planks for human use, but leaving the tree standing for centuries to come. This forest is magnificent, and whenever I am among trees such as this, the impossibility of reckoning their experience of life is pervasive. Typically, the weather is not sunny, but on this day, the family and I soaked in a very different temperate rainforest experience. To get this perspective, I lay down on my back underneath the boughs and looked up.
This species of tree was put to many uses by First Nation people, and back in Tofino I sampled a modern creation: A cocktail made with spirits soaked with cedar wood. It was sublime.
Many fascinating plants and trees all over this estate, and I can't name one of them, or can I??
"Big-Ass-Tree" was my original title idea... I could maybe get my arms around a quarter of it.. MAYBE.
I found this ginormous tree a few months back, but wasn't able to explore it at the time. I'm really happy I came back and risked the quicksand like dirt underneath it. Also stoked I had a wider focal length to work with so I could get the whole tree in without distorting it too much.

Afgelopen weekend vond ik deze enorme boom in de mistige bossen van Nationaal Park Zuid-Kennemerland. I heb hem de woudreus genoemd. De laatste kleuren van de herfst verdwijnen langzaam, waardoor enkel de vormen van de bomen overblijven. In dit soort mistige omstandigheden zien de bomen er bijna griezelig uit.
Forest Giant
This past weekend, I found this enormous tree in the misty woodlands of Zuid-Kennemerland NP. I dubbed it the forest giant. The last colours of autumn are slowly fading, leaving only the shapes of empty trees. In misty conditions like this, the trees look almost eerie.

Te Matua Ngahere, the Father of the forest, is the 2nd largest Kauri tree known, with his 29.9 m, trunk hight 10.21 m
Waipua Forest
New Zealand, North Island
An aged, veteran tree. Around 60 metres tall. Impossible to measure from the ground, as the tree top is not clearly seen.
Nearby is another Blackbutt, with a published height of 69 metres. The real height is closer to 54 metres. Don't always trust published heights of big trees!
There are dozens of similarly huge eucalyptus trees growing out of rainforests in New South Wales. Impossible to measure, as you can't see the tree top. Unless someone climbs the trees (or chops them down).
A couple of hours later, in the same forest I measured the "big fella", another eucalyptus tree at 70.4 metres tall. In this case, there was a fallen rainforest tree nearby. Which gave a clear view of the top and base of the tall tree.
Consecrated as obligatory point of tourist attraction to anyone going to Rio Grande do Norte State, Northeastern Brazil, the largest tree fruit in the world, Pirangi Cashew, is located about 25 km from the capital, on the beach in North Pirangi.
Was recorded in 1994, the Guinness Book and has approximately 110 to 120 years of existence.
From its original trunk left dozens of branches that in turn became true in other trunks. Because of this anomaly its branches touch the ground and create secondary roots that help in feeding the tree, but they are all dependent on the main trunk.
The rooting depth is 01-02 meters and the main trunk 20-25 feet, so it all depends on the trunk.
The Cashew currently has an area of 8,500 m², which corresponds to an aggregate of 70 regular sized cashew, it is estimated that there was room for growth could reach 30-40000 m².
Ne season, from November to January, the cashew tree produces up to 70-80 mil cashews, equivalent to 2.5 tons. The fruit is not sold and tourists can take, without exaggeration, some home.
The cashew tree has a structure around it with craft shops in the area, gazebo with 10 meters height to enjoy your entire pantry and guides who speak English and Spanish.
Consagrado como ponto obrigatório de visitação turística para quem vai ao Rio Grande do Norte, estado do nordeste brasileiro, a maior árvore frutífera do mundo, o Cajueiro de Pirangi, se localiza a cerca de 25 km da capital, na praia de Pirangi do Norte.
Foi registrado, em 1994, no Guiness Book e tem aproximadamente 110 a 120 anos de existência.
Do seu tronco original saíram dezenas de galhos que, por sua vez transformaram-se em outros verdadeiros troncos. Em virtude dessa anomalia seus galhos tocam no solo e criam raízes secundárias que ajudam na alimentação da árvore, mas todos eles são dependentes do tronco principal.
A profundidade das raízes é de 01 a 02 metros e a do tronco principal de 20 a 25 metros , por isso todos dependem do tronco.
O Cajueiro atualmente possui uma área de 8.500 m² , o que corresponde a um agregado de 70 cajueiros de porte normal, estima-se que se houvesse espaço para seu crescimento poderia alcançar 30 a 40.000 m² .
Ne safra, de novembro a janeiro, o cajueiro chega a produzir de 70 a 80 mil cajus, o equivalente a 2,5 toneladas. O fruto não é vendido e os turistas podem levar, sem exagero, alguns para casa.
O Cajueiro possui uma estrutura ao seu redor com lojas de artesanato da região, mirante com 10 metros de altura para apreciar sua copa inteira e Guias que falam inglês e espanhol.

Explore #421, April 28th, 2008
Franco and I visited Sequoia in early November. It rained all weekend and because of that, we had the entire campground and "walk of 100 giants" to ourselves. This photo was taken as the sun rose through the filtering canopy and reflected off all of the microscopic beads of water hovering in the air. These "twins" are two of my favorites in the entire walk. I return to gaze upon their majesty every time I visit the park, wondering at their centuries-long side-by-side growth from saplings to these incredible forest behemoths. It's so difficult to do these magical trees any justice with photos, but I think this one at least catches a bit of the wonder they inspire.
This well known tree recently suffered damage. Around a third of it is on the ground now. But the highest branches are still in tact. Small-leaf fig (Ficus obliqua), measured at 57 metres tall.
One of the largest figs in the state, but not quite the tallest. There's one of this type on the Wilson River in the mid north coast, measured at 63 metres tall.
Ficus obliqua is sometimes abbreviated by botanists as "Ficus o". But in this case it is Ficus OH! These are massive plants, often as wide as tall.
Considerable damage to nearby trees is evident nearby as large branches fell recently. The Giant Stinging Tree is abundant in the disturbed area. There are also flowering rainforest shrubs on the rainforest floor, they appear to be in the Solanum group, identified as Solanum ditrichum.
This old giant is approaching the last part of its long life.
I was hiking through a glorious grove of giant sequoias in Sequoia National Park on an overcast day when the sun decided to make one last peek before it settled over the horizon. I wasn't really prepared for a photo so I scrambled for a shot before the shining light disappeared.
Shot with a Canon Elan 7; Fuji Velvia 50 film; Canon 24-85mm lens.
O maior cajueiro do mundo, também conhecido como cajueiro de Pirangi, é uma árvore gigante localizada na praia de Pirangi do Norte no município de Parnamirim, a doze quilômetros ao sul de Natal, capital do estado brasileiro do Rio Grande do Norte.
A árvore cobre uma área de aproximadamente 8500 m², com um perímetro de aproximadamente 500 m e produz cerca de 70 a 80 mil cajus na safra, o equivalente a 2,5 toneladas. E seu tamanho é o equivalente a 70 cajueiros.
A árvore teria sido plantada em 1888 por um pescador chamado Luís Inácio de Oliveira que morreu, com 93 anos de idade, sob as sombras do cajueiro.
O crescimento da árvore é explicado pela conjunção de duas anomalias genéticas. Primeiro, em vez de crescer para cima, os galhos da árvore crescem para os lados; com o tempo, por causa do próprio peso, os galhos tendem a se curvar para baixo, até alcançar o solo. Observa-se, então, a segunda anomalia: ao tocar o solo, os galhos começam a criar raízes, e daí passam a crescer novamente, como se fossem troncos de uma outra árvore. A repetição desse processo causa a impressão de que existem vários cajueiros, mas na realidade trata-se de dois cajueiros. O maior, que sofre da mencionada anomalia, cobre aproximadamente 95% da área do parque; existe também um outro cajueiro, plantado alguns poucos anos antes, que não sofre da anomalia.
O tronco principal divide-se em cinco galhos; quatro desses galhos sofreram a alteração genética, e criaram raízes e troncos que deram origem ao gigantismo da árvore. Apenas um dos galhos teve comportamento normal, e parou de crescer após alcançar o solo; os habitantes do local apelidaram esse galho de "Salário Mínimo". As raízes do cajueiro podem chegar a 10m de profundidade.
Em 1955, a histórica revista O Cruzeiro batizou o cajueiro de "O Polvo" e definiu o fenômeno como uma "sinfonia inacabada" de "galhos lançados em progressão geométrica". À época, a planta tinha 2.000 m² de área. Em 1994, o cajueiro entrou para o Guiness Book.
Existe um mirante no próprio cajueiro que é muito frequentado por turistas. Dele, se tem uma visão panorâmica do cajueiro e da praia de Pirangi do Norte.

Maior cajueiro do mundo or Cajueiro de Pirangi (en: world's largest cashew tree or cashew tree of Pirangi) is a cashew tree in Pirangi do Norte, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
In 1994, the tree entered the Guinness Book of Records. It covers an area of about 7,300 or almost 8,400 square metres. The size of 70 normally sized cashew trees, it has a circumference of 500 meters. It is now difficult to distinguish the initial trunk from the rest of the tree. "The main place for the sale of lace and embroidery [in Rio Grande do Norte] is in the vicinity of the World's Largest Cashew Tree in North Pirangi."
Perhaps planted in 1888, alternately, "the tree is estimated to be more than a thousand years old." The tree produces over 60,000 fruits (with cashews) each year.
The spread over a hectare of land was created by the tendency of the tree to grow outwards and, having bent toward the ground because of their weight, the branches' tendency to take root where they touch the ground, unlike other trees. This may be seen in the images of the interior.
Meares Island on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, has many large old western red cedars (Thuja plicata) that are from 1000-1500 years old, and up to 60 feet in diameter and over 200 ft (60 m) tall. It was the site of an anti-logging protest in 1984 by the Nuu-chah-nulth aborignal people supported by many environmentalists. The court ruled against logging and the old growth rain forest remains intact. A wooden board walk was constructed to give access to the biggest trees and a hiker standing on the boardwalk stands a sense of scale for the giant tree.
