Spent the first day of 2026 with some very big trees. Upside to coastal BC: gigantic trees! Downside: 100% cloudy! Luckily my astrophotography wide-angle lens that I haven't been able to use yet on this trip because of clouds works very well for big trees, too!

A wide angle view that manages to fit an entire MASSIVE 800-year-old Douglas Fir into one picture. We're looking up at extremely huge, tall trees, with a huge log laying across the roots of the trees. The sky above is white with clouds.

Looking upwards at a bunch of super tall, straight Douglas firs, with a bare, moss-covered huge sprawly maple tree in the foreground. The sky above is white with clouds.

Looking straight up at a bunch of huge, tall, straight Douglas firs all converging at the zenith straight above us. The sky beyond is white with clouds.
