Muir Woods giants (Redwoods). The blue fringe around the canopy is not an artifact, I’m not sure what it is but I think it’s related to branches in shadow as the early sun hits from an angle over the hills. I like to think it’s a glimpse at the halos/auras of these amazing organisms.

View up the trunk and of the canopy of a giant redwood tree. The crowns of the trees are bathed in a blue halo of shadowed branches.

Sunrises from Aotearoa / New Zealand are briefly on hold while I’m on a short trip to the US (via Canada). These are some views out the plane and train windows coming into Vancouver and then traveling south across the border to Washington State.

I took a (very) low tide hike this morning to the local abandoned lighthouse. This is Tuahine Point Lighthouse. In the distance are the white cliffs of Te Kurī-a-Pāoa / Young Nick’s Headlands.
