“The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It’s not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.”
-Steinbeck
Visited Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park today in Santa Cruz and was really touched by the redwood trees. Many of them were over 1500 years old. I took a few pictures.
