How do you photograph an entire redwood tree? It’s not easy, but the result can be spectacular, especially when it’s done by National Geographic’s pros.

Last year I read <span style="font-style: italic;">The Wild Trees</span> by Richard Preston. It was a fascinating look at these redwood forests, their ecology, and these amazing trees. It's also a reminder of how fragile many ecosystems are and how little we really know about many of them. Some of these trees are literally thousands of years old, and their sheer size is staggering. Thanks for pointing this story out. They also have some amazing pictures here, as part of the same story.
