 We used yesterday morning to drive up to John Muir Woods. Because it is the 
last day, I give you five pictures this time.

To reach John Muir Woods, one drives several miles on this road:

While enjoying views like this:

The huge redwood trees are difficult to photograph:

So I focused on the base of the trunk while including a person for scale:

Finally, I put the long lens on my K5 and focused on the small details:

And thus ended our fantastic two weeks in Northern California, a place to 
which we will surely return.

Northern California has been home for most of the last 55 years and the 
photos you've made during your visit are a good reminder why I'll stay here. 
 Thanks for showing us, and come back again soon!
