Sunbeam Dreams

Here in Northern California, the Redwood forests are pure magic in every way. However, there is one circumstance when light and fog play together that it creates something so ethereal that it is hard to believe unless you see it for yourself. There are few local photographers that have posted some images that capture that light play on a regular basis but I could never figure out where they were getting these frequent magical shots. They are hard to capture. Until now. I found it. The magic spot. It's a costal Redwood trail on the top of a large grade which creates that play of light and fog on a fairly regular basis. On my birthday last week, we finally dedicated the time to hike it. It is a very strenuous hike and also a long drive from my home, but it was worth every second.

Behold, the magic of The Damnation Trail.
