| "Trees are the earth's endless efforts to speak to the listening sky."
- Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet "Hanging by a rope no thicker than my pinkie finger in a giant spruce tree 150 feet above the ground, I survey the view of the temperate rainforest of the Olympic Peninsula below me. Although perching in this treetop may seem more like a dream for a combination rock-climber and wilderness adventurer, the forest canopy has been my arena for a lifetime of scientific research." *Read more at the CNN link below and see the video. I just watched it on CNN. |

| Kinda makes you want to go to jail for a while, don't it? For the winter anyway. The mossy tree tops are beautiful, I have a book called "Tree" by Balog that briefly mentions the air plants in the video. I think they are where the coast redwood are. They are in association with either the coast redwood or Sequoia. I believe it is the coast redwood, someone set me straight on that a short while ago. |
