I'd never heard of this fallen sequoia and the stories about its history from providing shelter to being a hotel and saloon and then being a stable for US Cavalry horses. What I decided to do to capture the feel of this falling sequoia was to focus on its base and then have a look that continued through the opening to give that glimpse of how big it really is. As a backdrop, there would be the redwoods and sequoias with their browns and greens.
Captured while walking around Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias in Yosemite National Park. With the overcast skies, converting to B&W seemed to best bring out shapes and patterns seen in the tree and roots.
