Default Re: Redwoods: A "Must Read"

So I discovered that I did find the Del Norte Titan.

I can't explain how I know, without possibly giving away too much information.

Now maybe I can get some close-up pics.

Really, once you get into a forest like that, whether a tree has the largest trunk, or a trunk 2/3s as big, becomes a bit inconsequential.

But I thought the hunt would be a fun change. Besides, it got me at least a mile into the deep rain-forest where I may not otherwise have gone.

Have you read that the Redwoods have far more bio-mass than other rainforests on Earth? Per acre or square mile that is. Apparently more dense in areas, and much taller.

I found a few photos of redwoods that were like vertical panoramas. Vertical photo-stitch images. I'd like to see if I can make a few like that.
