Giant Sequoia Trees, Upward View

Three giant sequoia trees tower upwards, their reddish-brown bark textured by sunlight and shadows, with green foliage and glimpses of blue sky above.

August in Sequoia National Park, looking straight up at the canopy. The scale of these trees is hard to grasp until you're standing at the base, craning your neck. The bark is deeply furrowed, catching the light in interesting ways.
