Awesome pictures.
never to see trees to reach that age again
I love the gorgeous images on your blog – I get it as a daily digest and it’s a nice surprise every day to see the pictures. I just wanted to point out, though, that Yosemite is not in Humboldt County – it’s inland in Tuolumne, Mariposa, and Madera counties. Humboldt is on the north coast.
thank you :) .. i think the images are from both areas and we mistakenly mixed them together.
Pretty awe-inspiring!
I was so entertained by these pictures! Thanks for posting them!
Painfully sad are these photos. Deaths chronicled.
I love looking at vintage images like these! Thanks for posting them.
Horrifying
