Ah, one of those places - which are gorgeous to the eye and merely pretty in
photos.You've done well with it.
There are a number of similar types of places around here, and they drive me
crazy - photographically.
We are off tomorrow to another, very different, place with that characteristic.
Where Friesland is low and flat, with
few trees of modest height, we will be visiting tall mountains with huge trees.
The Giant Sequoias of California's Sierra Nevada mountains don't grow quite as
tall as the coastal redwoods, but are
much more massive.
Redwoods often grow in groves. The sequoias grow in mixed forest with other
conifer species that by themselves would be
exceptionally tall in most parts of the world. From above, the larger, taller
crowns of mature sequoias rise above the
rest of the forest. Down on the ground, they are amazingly more massive than
the others.
No way I can see to give a photographic sense of being there. I keep trying ...
