Sequoia Smog w/repost

Gallery: Man & FaunaPosted November 28, 20121,045 views4 comments

This was taken a number of years ago at sunset from Sequoia National park, California. The smog layer is clearly visible. The smog reaches into the park with unknown long term consequences on the giant trees.

Thanks for the comment Stuart, I hadn't noticed the vignette and didn't apply it. I dodged the edges a bit, is this better?

I grew up there and remember those fantastic sunsets. And even after I found out why they were so colorful, I was still impressed. I would like to see a tight crop of just the hills.
