Notes

"I went to see at first hand the big Sequoia trees, camping and sight seeing. The feeling was caused by the enormous size of the trees, the fact that they were so many hundreds of years old. How huge! I can hardly see the canopy! How could you take a photograph of the whole thing! I felt awe, humility, how great is God to make those trees."[2]
