Even before movies and television there seemed to be a lot of story-telling going on, and some beautiful ways of recording it.
You'll find this, and many other treasures at the new Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.

I don't get out to Roy's Redwoods enough these days -- I used to hike to the top of the "Nature Trail" several times a week back when I was trying more diligently to stay in shape. I think I hear Roy's Redwoods calling...

Great shots again. I especially like the sunlight on the fern frond and the rays pouring into the silent forest. Good stuff Don.

Those tangled bodies of whatever they are definitely make a cool picture. But my favorite is always going to be the light.
