Something about this scene makes it look like a high quality video game render. Maybe it's the otherworldly massive trees.

A rare example of a photo of a forest in bright sunlight that works perfectly. Well done!

Probably the clarity pull + texture push to compensate 😃

I never see these pictures after a rain in winter or spring. That's when the redwoods are most beautiful.

A rare example of an r/earthporn photo that needs a human being in it in order for the photo to make any sense. You can't understand how huge these trees are unless you can compare them to something like a person or a bicycle in the photo.

I used to pronounce Yosemite "yaws mite".

I still do, but I used to, too.

Same. English is very confusing

looks like LOTR can be casted here

I am amazed at the size of these trees.

Four ents right there

A person would be about as tall as the light part on the right side of the rightmost sequoia.

You never heard of Yosemite Sam, the feisty cartoon character?

I have had the privilege of walking through that grove of astoundingly humongous trees. I live in Florida but have visited beautiful Yosemite four times.

For a summer I worked in that grove every day and it never failed to stun me. They’re my favourite trees.

You sure that's California? Looks a lot like the forest moon of endor.

Love it, used to live in Wawona and those trees were my tallest neighbors.

OK I'm gonna tell you my story. I was born and raised in California and had visited both the coastal redwoods and Yosemite many times but somehow had never seen these trees. And we had a friend visiting from Thailand who wanted to go to Yosemite, so we took him to the Tuolumne Grove, where you park and then walk a bit down into the forest. And I said to my friend "I'm not sure how we will know which ones are the Sequoiahs. . ." And then when we saw the first one I laughed so hard I peed my pants.

Calling them trees doesn't really describe what's going on with them.

Lucky you!!

We visited two coastal redwood parks north of Eureka in June. Spent several hours walking among and admiring those beauties. The experience is like no other. My girlfriend had never seen a giant redwood. She was astonished too. (Didn’t pee, though.) Nature humbles us in the best way.

The coast redwoods (sequoia sempervirens) make me think of Rivendell. The giant sequoia, like in this photo (sequoia giganteum) are like the Ents.

There's another sequoia with a really fascinating story. We have them in San Francisco in the botanical garden. Dawn redwoods, if you are interested in this very beautiful deciduous "extinct" redwood:

I was lucky. Even more so as I was able to work 3 seasons in Yellowstone.

Star Wars battlefront.

I did, but he was known as "Sam Bigotes" in my neck of the woods.

Looks like the setting of a fairytale! 🧚😍
