Description
This is the most amazing tree I've ever seen in my life. It's so tall, just a single photo wouldn't do it justice. Well, this doesn't either -- it's too magnificent. But I think this looks pretty cool.

Basically, all I did was take several photographs of the tree, starting from the bottom and carefully making my way up (I didn't use a tripod for this, so it was very hard). Then I just downloaded them onto the computer and blended them together with GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Programme), so it looks as if you're bending your head back to look up at it.

I think this tree is called a Redwood, although I'm not entirely sure. It's so tall, it must be well over 150 foot tall, and if you touch the bark, you'd be surprised to see that it's spongy, which you wouldn't think to look at, especially close up -- it looks really rough and hard. This tree is behind the church where I live (hence the graves) and it's beautiful; you can see it well over the church tower from the other side. I had to stand quite a way back to take this photo, simply because it's so huge. Standing in front of it made me feel incredibly small.

Anyway, if you've reached this part of my comment, congratulations ... you've just read a few very long paragraphs of my ramblings ...

So, I hope you like this, and please let me know what you think!
