There's a giant conifer near where I live, a redwood I think. I took this shot looking up into the canopy.
This tree always inspire awes me. I suppose as redwoods go it is comparatively small. The base of the trunk would be about 15 feet round, I suppose, and the tree about 50 feet or so high. But when I look up into the branches it seems as if I am gazing into a magical world where a whole ecoystem might live.
I don't know what species it is, but my guess is a Californian redwood, Wellingtonia. In which case it might grow a whole lot bigger.
What is this tree?
