Sequoia

It is my opinion that nature is at its best when humans don't trample on it. Unfortunately, famous national parks such as Sequoia swarms with Homo Sapiens (amongst other animals). Every creature, including us, are trying to savor what nature has to offer. I have come to realize that if you truly want to get the "Full Monty" experience of nature, one has to backpack into the wilderness. No trespassers (except you), no technology, no flush able toilets, no connection with the outside world -- What can be better than that ? [maybe smores ...]

Pictures were taking with Canon Digital Rebel Xti. I used 3 kinds of lens namely, macro, 28mm/regular , and zoom lens to take the various pictures. Thanks to Tom Yip and his uber sexy professional lens (which, btw, titillated my senses and made me salivate for hours), I was able to capture the full moon shot among the Sequoia trees at night. And I learned that a professional lens/camera does make a huge difference in the quality of picture (of course the user has to be proficient!)
