Visiting Humboldt Redwoods State Park was a pleasant surprise. It protects over 17,000 acres of primeval old-growth coastal redwoods, the largest contiguous remaining stand in the world. These trees are thousands of years old and have never been logged. We returned to photograph Humboldt Redwoods several times because of its stark beauty. What makes this grove unique is the lush understory; the entire forest floor was carpeted in green redwood sorrel. If you look hard enough, you might even find a lucky four-leaf clover.
That morning we headed back hoping for fog. To our excitement, fog was rolling through the valley. I disappeared into the redwood forest looking for compositions. The diffused light illuminating the grove was incredible when I found this solo tree with fog beams piercing through. Humboldt Redwoods State Park is a great location for photographing redwoods.
