1984 … Feeling appropriately tiny
We paused thereafter for a time to soak up the grandeur that was (and still remains) the Sequoia National Forest …
“Having made these noble trees an especial study during the past year, I approach them always with reverence. As giants and patriarchs of the forest they stand alone … The trees are grand without being oppressive; noble but not arrogant; lords of the soil who do not ever oppress or impoverish the land.” ~ via F. H. Clark
