The beauty of aging is transparent along California’s north
coast amongst the redwoods. Words cannot describe and pictures cannot present
the peace, grandeur and majesty one experiences while standing amongst the
planet’s tallest trees. Amid these trees, my overall feeling…I am just an insignificant speck!
Click here to enjoy some pictures of the ageless beauty of
these trees; however, to truly appreciate the magnificence of these trees, a
personal visit is a must!
Along with these pictures, I leave you with these words from John Steinbeck, the author of Travels with Charley--one of the books that inspired the Venzaliner journey!
“The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision
that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or
photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From
them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the
color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any
trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
