Redwoods Photo Contest Finalist

Postby mdvaden » Tue Aug 09, 2011 8:17 pm

Save the Redwood League did a photo contest again this year, and picked my redwood photo as one of ten finalists. Over 500 photos were submitted. Their first note after selection, mentioned getting word out about voting. Voting is available until August 12, 2011 at:

Link: http://www.savetheredwoods.org/community/contest.shtml

My photo in the contest is called Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. It's the Coast Redwood image shown below. Memorable too, because I took the photo about 1 hour before discovering the world's tallest known Hemlock in the same park: called 'Tsunami' - 272 feet tall.

You have my vote. I saw many Redwoods on my trip up Hwy 1 in CA in May of this year. Such magnificent trees.

That's purdy! It needs a teardrop parked at the bottom to really round out the beauty of the picture--but hey, that's my opinion.

This is the closest I can come to that. But a teardrop would be even better.

Thanks to all for checking out the contest.

That is an impressive campsite! :thumbsup:

...But doesn't it bring on a bit of concern about falling branches? :shock:

The "branches" that could fall look bigger than 95% of the trees where I live ! :lol:
