old rocks, old trees

Fri Jul 24, 2009, 12:16 PM
We returned yesterday from a short trip to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Incredible beauty, the scale of which is, I think, impossible to capture. Maybe if I had one of those huge view cameras, but, alas such equipment is not likely to be mine. Shlepping it around would be a pain, anyway. It was relatively uncrowded, which was a big surprise. There were people near the really famous sights, like the Sherman Tree, which is supposed to be the largest tree in the world. I think it's about 3000 years old. Learned a lot about sequoias and redwoods. Walked in a fallen log so large that the interior had been used as a saloon and a small hotel in the 19th century. Now that's a log to remember. Glad we went and glad we're home -- best kind of trip.

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are. -- Ernst Haas
