Sequoia Trees, Sequoia National Park

Three massive giant sequoia trunks rise vertically into a bright blue sky, with dappled sunlight and deep shadows highlighting their reddish-brown bark and green needles.

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.
