Redwood forests are often dark, the scale is overwhelming and just about impossible to capture in a two-dimensional image. Stand back to get the whole tree/forest in view and it becomes just another ho-hum image. Get up close to the trees and their immensity is lost. But what is really lost, most of all is the reverence you feel, the quiet majesty of being down close to these giant, mystical beings, the fecundity of life that develops in a relatively stable environment that stretches back 1000, 1500, 2000 thousand years.
This photo, to me, captures at least the smallest bit of what I felt standing here in a true cathedral of life's story.
