Brazilian Sequoia

This is the last one left behind.
Everything around was gone.
Probably because of the big size ( about 195 feet ).
This tree is named Castanheira.
The picture was taken in South Amazon region in the state of Pará - Brazil.
This place WAS a rainforest .

Sad story Cristiano. This would be a good post for Environmental PJ Gallery. I like the sense of scale the small house adds to the scene.
