A breathtaking photograph of a towering redwood tree in Muir Woods National Monument captures the majesty of nature in its purest form. The immense trunk, rich in deep reddish-brown hues, stands tall among its ancient companions, reaching toward the sky. The surrounding forest, bathed in soft, dappled light filtering through the canopy, creates a serene and almost mystical atmosphere. The towering trees create a cathedral-like effect, with their branches intertwining above, casting gentle shadows on the lush, green forest floor. This image beautifully encapsulates the timeless, awe-inspiring presence of these ancient redwoods, a living testament to the natural beauty of California’s coastal wilderness.
Difficult finding a good view of this ancient oak tree because of the location, too many distractions from most angles of view. This was shot at 17mm, when I go back the next time I will try it at 10mm and see how that turns out. Double left click on the photo to see the details of this gnarled old tree.
If you suddenly found that you travelled back to ancient Egypt and saw the pyramids, what would you say?

A massive old-growth Redwood tree, it is the largest in the grove rising approximately 250 feet or about as tall as a 25-story building.
This ancient tree survives in a small 37-acre grove of old-growth Redwoods on the San Francisco Peninsula in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The magnificent beauty of these stately giants can still be seen and enjoyed by those who come to 'Heritage Grove' near the community of La Honda.
Not much cloud in the sky but always worth a visit to the beach.
The ancient forest was covered in peat before eventually being swallowed by the sea.
Legends say trees and nearby township were flooded after a priestess neglected a magical well.
Conditions inside the peat, devoid of oxygen and slightly alkaline, have meant the stumps survived.
