Redwoods
Aug 12, 2015 18:11:09 #
Images from our recent motorcycle trip to CA which included both the coast Redwoods and the Sequoia. While both are huge the coast Redwoods are substantially taller and the Sequoias fatter.
I don't know how to photograph them to illustrate their real size. The image with my "gang" might give an indication. (They are my three sons.)
All taken with Nikon D5300 and Sigma 17-50mm lens. Images combined in Lightroom as panoramas.

As with the volcanoes in the northwest, I think it's impossible to truly convey the massive size. You really have to be there :) However, these are fantastic shots and very enjoyable!

I don't know that I will ever see these in person but like that you showed their massive size with someone standing in front of them.

I think you did a good job of conveying the massive size of these trees. Very nice photos!

Beautiful trees and great photos. After seeing your pictures, I am even happier that people have discovered Trex Decks and no longer feel the need to have red wood decks.

Now you are making me feel guilty. Hopefully they aren't still cutting down the big trees!

These are really nice.. I have been to Sequoia National Park at least 3 diff times, heck I am only less then 300 miles from the Park. And it is hard to collect the perspective to truly show these massive trees. I never been to Northern California or Oregon to see the Coast Redwoods. But that may change in a few months when we take the coast all the to Canada from Los Angeles. I would think that it should be a nice drive.

It is a wonderful drive. If you have the time take 1 (vs. 101). It weaves along the coast.
The road at the south entrance of Sequoia was also interesting. I dragged the floorboards of my Harley several times on the steeply pitched hairpin turns.
