The giant sequoias in Sequoia National Park are amazing to see in person. The photos simply don’t do them justice, especially without a scale bar, but I tried to capture some anyway.

Instead of always looking up, sometimes it’s nice to look them straight in the eye.

After failing to really portray the sense of the trees through the photos, I switched to some more artistic angles of them. I especially like the one on the left showing all the rings. If you stop and think about what you’re looking at, the rings almost convey the spirit of the trees better than pictures of the trees themselves.

Unrelated to the Sequoias proper, we went on a hike and fell off a cliff!
