Redwood Trunk

Though this particular redwood tree is probably only several centuries old, some of these west coast giants are 1000-2000 years old. Imagine all the great world events that have occurred while these trees slowly were adding ring after ring to their width and foot after foot to their height.

Thanks to those far-sighted and compassionate people who lobbied mightily to save at least a few pockets of these giant beauties for posterity before loggers harvested them all. Isn't it interesting that those who call themselves "conservatives" are the least interested in "conserving" nature? "Conservative" Christians are, inexplicably, the most adamant that it's actually wrong to care about the environment. They seem eager for the world to go to hell so that Jesus will more quickly return to pluck us out of our self-created mess and take us to heaven. Whatever happened to "For God so loved the world . . ."?

See Sabbatical Crosses (and others). Order prints, etc.
