Mariposa Grove

Growing up in Oregon means that I'm quite the tree hugger. Some of my favorite subject matter is trees. Mariposa is a bit of a mecca for people like me. Mariposa Grove is in the most southern part of Yosemite National Park. It is famous for its' Giant Sequoias and the ever large Grizzly Giant. I was totally in awe of these trees. They are so majestic and grand. It is a humbling experience to stand next to something like that and realize that your existence is just a blink of an eye compared to the time these trees have been around. [Shot on TriX 400 taken with a Mamiya 645]
