Redwoods

Having moved to California 35 years ago I know it's nearly impossible to take a great picture of redwoods. They're too big, too much. You have to capture them in your mind. Not so, however, the great outdoor furniture and walking infrastructure that accompanies them in places like Muir Woods National Monument north of San Francisco. When we visited recently I was taken by the four bridges spanning the gently running creek that meanders through the woods, the wooden plank walking trails and the fencing that keeps you where the rangers want you. A lovely place for looking up, down or  straight ahead on the trail.
