And these are just little babies... - Stock-Fotografie

It is almost incomprehensible to think of the pacific northwest completely covered with forests of giant sequoias and redwoods, 20 feet or more in diameter. And now the originals are almost completely gone and we stand in complete awe at small plots of 2nd or 3rd generation replacements. Such a shame that we couldn't have kept at least a few hundred acres of the original. Yet I can hardly blame the original settlers for simply surviving in light of the way we continue to destroy our world, despite an even better understanding of the implications today.
