TRANSCRIPT

  • Kings Canyon&Sequoia NationalParks

    Sherann & Bruce

    June 2005

    Each branch on this giant sequoia tree is as big as a normal large tree. These trees are the largest on our planet and are almost three thousand years old.

  • Storm clouds lifting over Hume lake, with Kings Canyon rock lighted by the last rays of the day.

  • General Sherman tree in the Sequoia National Park is the biggest tree in the world. It towers above the pines that grow next door and seems to reach the clouds.

  • Indian pictographs painted on stone near the southern entrance to the park.

    The natives used dye made from the red bark of young sequoia trees to make their paint. The symbols they used represent space aliens and other weird critters.

  • Inset shot thru a Meade EC90 reflecting telescope, showing close-up of a dome in the Sierra Nevada range - reference photo shot with a 135 mm Canon lens.
