Time Wrap

I am going in reverse here but I just realised I still didn’t show you photos of the Sequoias from our recent trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, in California.

My first encounter looked like this:

Wow it is so big and tall, amazing

Then we found more and more of them:

Those Sequoia trees are really amazing

After inspecting the inside of a group of Sequoias I tried to see if they reach the clouds:

Very impressive indeed, when you stand near the Sequoia trees

And this is what I saw:

Awesome, breath taking trees

Joe wanted me to go up one but I sent him instead:

The most famous of the trees, like the one called General Sherman:

The largest tree of them all

Are now fenced to try and help them last longer, so you can’t really get close to the tree and appreciate it.

I think I preferred the ones that I could touch and stand right next to and admire:

I couldn\'t have enough of those huge Sequoia trees

I think this photo summarize well my opinion about these Sequoias:

I can\'t even see where this Sequoia ends!

In another part of this amazing park we saw young Sequoias. I was quite disappointed to learn that there is not much chance I will be around to see them in their full glory (it takes about 3,000 years).

Oh well, maybe in my next life.

    So amazing. Have you read the World Without Us? He has a description of how big trees could/would get without human beings around to chop them down. Full glory in 3,000 years! Mind-blowing.

    Aren’t sequoias amazing? They are my all-time favorite trees on earth; there’s just something so awe-inspiring about something that lives that long. I can’t wait to take my girls to see them, now that they’re old enough to appreciate their majesty.
