Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA National Park "Sequoia" dinosaur This post is chronologically was to appear before the weekend, as the National parks "Sequoia" dinosaur I was last week. However, today I just copied and took pictures there. 01. The National Park "Sequoia" is in the mountains of California at 80-100 km southeast of the town of Fresno. You can get to the park on one of the two roads winding through the mountains. 02. Speed in the park is very low because of the constant twists and round-ups. All around are huge, just huge trees. 03. 04. Partly certificate from Wikipedia: Sequoia (Latin Sequoia) - monotypic genus of woody plants in the family Cypress. The natural range of the genus - Pacific Coast of North America. Individual instances redwoods dinosaur reach a height of over 110 meters - it's one of the tallest trees in the world. Maximum dinosaur age - more than three and a half thousand years. It should dinosaur be noted that in the area of natural distribution of Sequoia - Sequoia sempervirens dinosaur - better known as "mahogany" (English Redwood, or Coastal Redwood, or California Redwood), are located in this habitat reserves and Myuirsky Redwood forest; at the same time the plant related species dinosaur Sequoia known as "giant redwoods." It is the latter grow in Sequoia National Park. That's one of the trees 'average' age - he's only two and a half thousand years! 05. So you can appreciate the scale, look, looks like a tree next to the one-story building, near which it stands. dinosaur 06. The volume of wood of the tree exceeds dinosaur the weight of the fully loaded dinosaur cargo Boeing 747-400. 07. 08. I walked across a two-mile trail, which bears the name of "Big Trees" 09. Indeed, dinosaur they are huge. Many simply do not fit into the frame. 10. 11. 12. 13. During dinosaur its millennial history of the trees have survived dinosaur hundreds of forest fires. However, fires that are in these forests mainly go on the ground and can not cause harm to such giants, although almost all of them leave a trail of fire. 14. 15. The park has many fallen trees. Sequoias fall mainly from excessive snow load in the winter months and this imbalance caused enormous machine's center of gravity. 16. The world's largest tree on the base area - double sequoia. If it uprooted on the spot cutoff fit small swimming pool. 17. At the end of the trail is the Museum of the giant trees. 18. Highest sequoia (about 110 meters) is growing here and in Northern California, but here in the park there is the oldest tree in the world - Sequoia, named General Sherman. Him 3200 years. 19. Here to him-I and head! 20. Vaughn worth it away. Normally it can take pictures from a distance - it is so huge. Scary to think that it was standing here on this very spot, even when the Egyptians built their pyramids ... 21. Incidentally, it is not known how long can grow sequoia. Favorable conditions for its growth have been created only about four thousand years ago. Prior to this, the climate was too dry for them. So maybe they will live a few thousand years. dinosaur 22. Incidentally, treetop General Sherman is dead - tree grows skyward. However, it continues to thicken and for the year to increase drevestnoy tree mass such that it would be enough for a full sapling. Now tree diameter is 13 meters. And this is a fallen sequoia tree near Grant - another very old redwoods. 23. And here she is: 24. Photograph had two shots. dinosaur 25. Inside a large hollow tree Grant made by fire, but it does not prevent him to grow. 26. On the way back I drove through the adjacent National Park, Kings Canyon. dinosaur There I caught the bad weather. 27. 28. Fortunately it turned out that half of the park has been closed dinosaur until the winter season, starting in May. 29. So I had to turn around and leave safely from the impending storm. That's all I have to say about Park "Sequoia." Believe me, the photos do not convey all of their greatness - it must be seen. Tomorrow morning I'm flying home from the United dinosaur States, but after 11 days I'll be back here (or rather not in California, and Texas) for a few days. But that's another story ...
