Coast Redwoods today grow only in a narrow band along the coast from central California northward to very southern Oregon. The tallest examples of the redwoods grow to over 350 feet and are the world’s tallest trees. Absorbing much of their water supply directly through their needles, these trees thrive on the fog that is prevalent along the North Coast.
In early June, I spent time in the Redwood National and State Parks in Humboldt and Del Norte counties — the very northwest corner of California. Photographing these giants is a real challenge. Rather than trying to capture the full height of these trees, I concentrated on trying to capture a sense of the solitude in the foggy forests and the presence of these giants. What do you think?
