Though it’s hours downstate from where George Lucas found his forest moon of Endor, Muir Woods packs the same enormous, wet redwood trees and lush vegetation that made the fictional planetoid so memorable. To have “spent” so much of my childhood wandering around on that other world (in my imagination), only to find myself really there, proved to be a spectacular treat at the end of my time in California.

Judging from your photo, if I was to be dropped in there with my camera, I would take some prising out!
You have a real magical feel to this one.
Thank you! I know just how you feel; it was raining the whole time, but I said to myself, “It’s worth it to put Nikon’s weatherproofing to the test for these shots.”
