The size is just breathtaking, I hope to see them someday (:
They are the tallest trees in the world. I miss them since leaving California. The redwood forests that still stand are called Cathedrals of the Trees. The wood is not eaten by termites, it is valuable. There is an ongoing struggle to stop the harvesting of old-growth redwoods and preserve the new ones for another 300 years at least.
Reblogged this on 115 journals and commented:
I am reflagging this from Hovercraftdoggy in honour of a redwood I love in L.A., not as big yet, but promising.
thank you for the reblog! :)
Keeps the world in perspective for us and I do not mean the human-made world, but nature in all its glory.
a fantastic picture!
Magnificent!
