Towering Over the Creek
Old growth Coastal Redwoods towering over a mostly dry section of Redwood Creek in Muir Woods, California. Some of these trees have reached heights of 500ft tall!
Muir Woods Sign in B&W
Had the chance to use my 37-70mm f/3.5 AIS lens for this one. I really do love that lens but it is heavy and manual focus takes time which is difficult in tourist areas.
Redwood Creek
Redwood Creek runs through the towering Coastal Redwood forest of Muir Woods National Monument. Water levels were quite low this year due to very little rain over the winter months but it was a peaceful and serene location none the less.
Fallen Without My Skin
This massive Coastal Redwood tree had fallen with such ferocity that it's outer layer of bark was torn off. The park service had to cut a chunk of the tree out that was blocking the path and as such this part of the tree lays next to the walkway where some visitors have taken it upon themselves to leave carvings in the soft exposed wood.
