Congratulations on your win. Few words with much said. It is hard to believe that there are living redwood trees that are over 3000 years. Now that is old. Enjoy your win and weekend................

Wonderful Mark! So glad you entered this gem. I love the fact that redwoods grow in a circle to support each other with their shallow root systems. Congratulations. Creative imagery!

These trees get up to 360 feet tall. When you stand on the ground next to them and look up its truly amazing. I dove through the avenue of giants in northern california
