Here's a little nugget for #ThickTrunkTuesday: A vertical panoramic image in a coastal redwood forest, Arcata Community #Redwood Forest to be exact. A view from ground level to the #forest canopy, a little slice of heaven.
Image is in portrait orientation-- it's well worth it to see this slice of forest in full view, so click the image to full size!
From Wikipedia: Mount Tehama (also called Brokeoff Volcano or Brokeoff Mountain) is an eroded andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the Cascade Range in Northern California. Part of the Lassen volcanic area, its tallest remnant, Brokeoff Mountain, is itself the second highest peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park and connects to the park's highest point, Lassen Peak. Located on the border of Tehama County and Shasta County, Brokeoff's peak is the highest point in the former.
I've visited a lot of waterfalls in my time as a photographer, and while my technique has evolved with experience and time, this image from 2007 has remained one of my favorites. I've gone back to this location multiple times to photograph this exact image, but this one always wins out.
Getting to this position in the creek is not for the faint of heart-- I usually put my camera strap in my teeth to hold it above the water as my feet slip over mossy, slick rocks until I get to a boulder further downstream. When I'm done taking exposures I am typically soaked head to toe.
Worth it. Every single time.
Throwback to this idyllic path to the cliff edge at #SueMegStatePark, in Trinidad, California. This little 'secret path' is what makes campsite 105 so special.
Waking up to sunrays piecing the marine layer fog drifting through the cypress canopy, the crashing ocean beyond the cliffs a few steps away, and campfire smoke. My kind of morning.
