Soft rays of filtered sunlight are caught in the towering canopy of an ancient redwood forest along a winding trail leading down to cliffs above the northern California Coast. Dense summer fog is obscuring distant trees and dripping off rhododendrons at the peak of their blooming season. In every direction are great scenes to photograph. The trees are immense and the magenta rhododendroon flowers reach far overhead. Late afternoon light is perfect for photography along Damnation Creek Trail through Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, one of the many trails in this newsletter that you'll want to discover for yourself.
Field Reports
12-4-2006: A new “tallest tree’ has been discovered and measured in northern California’s Redwood National Park. The Hyperion Tree, a coastal redwood, was recently announced to be 379.1 feet tall. The exact location of this tree has not been disclosed for fear that human traffic would upset the tree’s ecosystem.
