Giant Redwood in Hi-def
As a teenager I had a fascination with Giant Sequoia trees, sometimes called Redwoods. (Actually, there are two types of trees Sequoias and Coastal Redwoods, which are cousins.) I grew up near the inland varieties near Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. I read tons of books on the giant trees, and went on numerous hikes through the parks to admire the behemoths.
I guess my obsession with gigantic phallic objects started long before I realized I was gay…
Via digg:
Nick Nichols, the “Indiana Jones of Photography,” produced the first-ever high-definition, seamless composite photo of an entire redwood. It’s 300 feet tall and between 1,500 and 2,000 years old. The photo was created with 84 very high-resolution images, taken at approximately 3-foot intervals from a vertical dolly rigged parallel to the tree.
