Back in September 2009, our family went on a 3-week vacation across the western US, trying to visit as many national parks as possible. Being homeschooled allowed us to go when most kids were back in school, so the parks were not as crowded.
When I went to Sequoia National Park first time early in July, not all wildflowers were booming. So, two weeks later I went there again. I am glad to see those beautify lupines between the trees.
Naturally, Sequoia National Park's namesake is the Sequoia tree. Big is an understatement. Here's one next to "normal" large fir trees. They are the largest trees in the world by volume and can be over 5000 years old. And they only grow here in small groves on the western part of the Sierra Nevada range. They are so big, I found them a bit of a challenge to photograph. And as with many things natural and rare, they are endangered and their continued existence is uncertain. Normally resistant to wildfire, the intense 2021 fire that swept through the area killed as much as 20% of the ancient tree population.

A small grove of Giant Sequoias planted in 1880 at the Washington County Courthouse in Hillsboro, Oregon.
A frame from the Sequoias with a snow covered forest at the big trees trail. Captured some snow fall, it looks so serene as the snowflakes fall gently through the air, but it sure was cold. Thanks for checking it out & Happy Holidays!

Giant sequoias and California Redwoods - These tallest of trees reach heights of more than 350 feet (107 m). The tallest tree in the world is named Hyperion, which reaches 379.7 feet.
Spent couple days at Sequoia National Park. Giant sequoias are the biggest trees in the world and live up to 3200 years old. They grow naturally along the Sierra Nevada in California at elevations above 4000 feet. The area of sequoia trees concentration is called sequoia grove.

Sequoia City
Stanmore, Harrow
An out-take from the show, it's not a big space, so there's always going to be a few that didn't make it to the wall. The show is part of London Photomonth, open until the 1st November.
It’s said that there are more redwoods in the UK than there are in their native California and most of them seem to be in North West London. Who knew Harrow was the sibling sister to NorCal.
Redwood Cafe is open from 9-5.30pm closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

This is a tree I shot in the Sequoia forest during the winter, it is always interesting to photograph trees with a wide angle. The trees were impressive and I feel that this photo shows how big they were. Also it creates a leading line which I kinda like.
Walking the trails through the Giant Forest among the most massive trees on earth in the ethereal mist and the snow was like being in a dream. All throughout the forest, the effects of decades of prescribed burning were evident, with clumps of juvenile sequoia seedlings establishing themselves after fire.
...taken last week in the Sequoia National Park of the largest tree in the world.
This was difficult place to shoot and light at night because the tree is so huge, and the area around the tree is so tight. It took a lot of daytime planning to find space to place and hide the lights and make the best alignment with the Milky Way. Lighting was with 4 LED panel lights on stands, using LowLevelLighting.org techniques.
Check out the other Giant Sequoia > I shot the next night. Which photo do you like best?
You can find more night photography techniques in my ebook, Milky Way NightScapes, which gives extensive details on my style of starry night landscape photography. Four chapters cover planning, scouting, forecasting star/landscape alignment, light painting, shooting techniques and post processing.

Tunnel Log is a tunnel cut through a fallen giant sequoia tree in Sequoia National Park. The tree, which measured 275 feet (84 m) tall and 21 feet (6.4 m) in diameter, fell across a park road in 1937 due to natural causes. The following year, a crew cut an 8-foot (2.4 m) tall, 17-foot (5.2 m) wide tunnel through the trunk, making the road passable again.

The early morning sun peeking through the trees at Sequoia National Park. The air was smoky from forest fires to the north, giving a foggy look in the distance.

Round Meadow, Sequoia National Park, California
Sequoia trees at the edge of Round Meadow. Sequoias need lots of moisture and tend to find well watered areas to take root. The edges of mountain meadows are ideal locations, since the surrounding watershed drains into the center of the meadow. The roots of Sequoias are suprisingly shallow, not much more than a meter in depth, although their extent is extremely broad.
Sequoias require fire to reproduce. The adults with their thick bark and lack of resinous wood are relatively impervious to fire (note the fire scar on the trunk of the middle sequoia). However seedlings will not germinate and survive if there hasn't been a forest fire recently. After a century of suppressing fires within sequoia groves (and few young sequoia as a result), managed fires are now occasionally lit (or wild fires allowed to burn) by forest managers.
The Hotel Sequoia sits on one of the old historical blocks in lower Downtown Redwood City. The hotel dates to 1902 and was once considered the place to stay on the SF Peninsula. The hotel boasts that Herbert Hoover stayed here in the 1920s while president. That was a long time ago. Today it caters to a much different crowd. It is basically one step up from being homeless. The residents are the misfortunate members of society who still have barely enough money to keep a roof over their heads.
Buffdawgus says check it out, but consider Motel Six instead. At least they leave the light on for you.

Took this photo of the Milky Way while camping over the weekend in Sequoia National Forest. It's amazing how clear the stars are from such a high elevation (~7000 ft). I hardly made any adjustments in photoshop, just clarity and contrast.
