Once again, my Evite for an overnight trip to see a Meteor shower fell on deaf ears. With not one person interested or able to make it, there was only one option- go alone and experience nature in its purest form- free from social distractions! Sequoia National Park was created by Congress in 1890, becoming the Second National Park in the United States- established even before Yosemite. Only Y... Read Full Entry

I grew up in a small town. I went to Uni. I started taking pictures afterwards in 2000. Several cross country road trips and 3 summers in the Sierra Nevada forced me to fall in love with the outdoors. In 2004 I began working full time, taking advantage of every free weekend and holiday while liquidating my yearly vacation for bigger trips to other countries. I especially love conifer forests and alpine mountains. I'm currently taking pictures of Kids and Models, check out my Facebook page for details! [url=ht... full info

the two peaks are left, Mt. Silliman and Right, Alta Peak 11,204 ft(3015 meters). Half of these trees are untouched old growth Sequoia. The rest is equally impressive stands of White Fir, Red Fir, Jefferey Pine and Cedar.

You can tell all the different trees by the color and spread of the crown. On the top of this ridge with rounded tops are the mature Sequoia's. The sindply arm trees look like White Fir.

Bloody Big Trees!!
Are they really that big?? My favourite pic is the sunset is coming one, and how do you take photos of the Milky Way?? Im noticing a theme in your pictures, seems im not the only one who likes mountains!!! Though i have to say, my obsession starts and ends with Fuji san, I think your a little more open minded!!

maybe or maybe not, but I'll take it!
You are far too kind! I dont know if I would go that far, but a commission means I get some sort of payment right?! :)

You've got the right idea man!!!
I must say that one of the most awe-inspiring locations I've ever visited in my life is the Giant Forest. I've been all around the U.S. and some of the Carribean. No where I've traveled am I reminded how magnificent nature truly is, not so far anyway. I must say also that your talent for photography is second-to-none. I was trying to go to the site where you have more of your work...do you know when it will be up and running again? Well, keep up the traveling...I know I will!

Wow!
That is crazy! About 6 months ago the house started looking like it was being demolished, the trees in the picture were removed, the windows knocked out, etc.. but still it sits the last weekend I went home! I love it, so much character...

Home!
This are great pics of my former home in the Sierras! Yes, the trees are really that big -- and really much bigger than portrayed in the pictures. It is impossible to capture on camera their immensity -- just as with the Grand Canyon. I feel homesick for the Sierras just looking at these pictures... even though I now live in a forest-city (Portland).

Hola, soy chileno y hace unos dias tuve la posibilidad de conocer tan bello lugar. Es un lugar espectacular que llama obligatoriamente a la refleccion, a pensar que lo mas hermoso y grande en este mundo es la naturaleza y lo que esta significa: Divina Libertad.
