Description
Sunset shot from the Eleven Ranges Overlook in Sequoia National Park along the General’s Highway. Fog obscured detail and high ISO created an acceptable level of grain. The ribbon of color cutting through the thick clouds made for a spectacular sight in this extraordinary park.
Giant sequoias can live for over 3,000 years, outlasting all of their mixed conifer forest neighbors. What is it about giant sequoias that allows them to persist through millennia? Surprisingly, a major factor in in the longevity of giant sequoias is a chemical called tannin. The tannin, present in high concentrations in sequoia bark, gives the sequoia resistance to rot, boring insects, and fire.
The mid-sierra zone (5,000-8,000 ft) creates ideal conditions for giant sequoia growth. Mild winter and summer temperatures, deep winter snowpack, and a rich fire history have made it possible for the world's largest tree to get its biggest in these parks.
