Redwood National Park, California

Most people know Redwood as home to the tallest trees on Earth. But the parks also protect vast prairies, oak woodlands, wild riverways, and nearly 40 miles of pristine coastline, all supporting a rich mosaic of wildlife diversity and cultural traditions. Together, the National Park Service and California State Parks manage these lands for the inspiration, enjoyment, and education of all people.

While foggy conditions are always hoped for when photographing the redwood forest, the weather doesn’t always cooperate! But late afternoon provides some nice opportunities for warm light and sunstars, and those are some of my favorite images! I’ve learned to observe and adapt to the conditions I’ve been given, and let go of rigid expectations.

Beautiful morning light hitting the redwoods and rhododendrons on Bald Hills Road in Humboldt County. I love the diffuse, yet warm quality of light as the sun breaks through the fog on the north coast. I miss visiting the redwoods this year but these stately and timeless beauties will be waiting for me when I’m ready to go back.
