Redwoods National Park

If you ever find yourself getting caught up in the trivial affairs of human beings, I highly recommend a visit to northern California. Standing at the base of a tree more than 2000 years old is both a humbling and inspiring experience. Here's hoping the ancient redwoods remain standing despite the devastation wrought by We the People. Here's wishing that our misguided species had one tenth of their wisdom.

This is an open thread.
