And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Not possible in real life. Light on trees indicates the Sun is to the left, and the center of a rainforest arc is always opposite the location of the Sun. Pretty colors, though.
Grew up in the south Bay Area and spent many many days and weekends at Big Basin. Imagine a bunch of Cub Scouts racing fifty yards along downed trunks that, lying flat on the ground, were still three times our height. Fantastic memories. On the last campout before we moved, there were 20 Boy Scouts and adult leaders grasping hands in a big circle around one of the really big standing trees. We were at full extension and it took all of us to fully encircle the tree. Wish I still had that photo. An old-growth redwood grove is like nothing else. Truly, God's own temple on earth.
WOW!!!
ReplyDeletePictures don't do justice to the majesty of these trees.
ReplyDeleteYou have to stand in front of them to really appreciate how massive they are.

ReplyDeleteWas just there.
ReplyDeleteTwo and half days driving through sequoias and redwoods.
Simply spectacular.
Upcoming post.
I'm going back if possible late summer, spending a week or so, and taking a fishing rod.
