A Drive Beneath the Towering Giants of Northern California

In June we did a road trip from home in California to Vancouver, BC, Canada. In Northern California we left Highway 101, and drove on the Avenue of the Giants, called so for a reason. Majestic redwood trees grow in abundance in that region. The canopy is so high up, and so dense, that it can get rather dark down at the ground.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
