Coastal Redwood portrait
Linked is the portrait of a Coastal Redwood tree. These coastal giants are the tallest living things, and therefore, are quite a bit taller than I. They're a marvel found only, as far as I'm aware, in California where I live. If you like trees or appreciate fine photographic works, you'll love the linked image at National Geographic.
