The stunning, overwhelming, almost-heartbreaking Muir Woods National Monument in California has become a photographic cliché. (Thanks, Ansel Adams.) That doesn’t prevent me from discovering something new in every corner and every moment. The incredible contrast of scale between ferns and sequoias twists the mind, and the quiet, misty paths (early in the morning anyway) transport you to an overwhelming alternate world.

Let us have many more such photos. Fantastic!
Thank you!
Good luck with this project. Somehow with the size of the trees all photos need to be shot in portrait. LOL
I know just what you mean. In such a beautiful place, it can feel like no lens (or aspect ratio) can ever capture everything.
Yes, I know what you mean. If we only had a 360 degree lens with no distortion, it might capture what we wanted.
I just posted a photo of a 50 year old Sitka Spruce forest that is eerie but in a way beautiful. http://allentimphotos2.wordpress.com/blog-4/ Let me know what you think about this image.
Here be Hobbits.
I know just what you mean!
Scenes like this make me wish I was still in the Bay Area. Thanks for sharing this great image.
Nice!
