The first couple hundred photos I took on my old camera have a burnt-in date watermark on them, a setting that took me some time to learn how to toggle off. Although somewhat garish overall it forms part of my nostalgia for the time. Combine that with the absolute ton endearing amount of chromatic aberration present in this picture and it has more than enough awe and character for me.

This was taken on a road trip that led us up through northern California. Half of the pictures I have are my brothers hiding inside of or standing on top of the giant redwood trees. It doesn't take very much for my love of scale to make itself known. I'd be all over even one large tree but here there were many more than that.

If only there was a large vertical greenhouse capable of keeping one of these alive in my backyard. I bet a Civ E could whip up one of those in no time.
