beyond the ken
of yeats’ widening gyre
indifferent to all
but lightning’s fiery ire:
sequoia sempervirens.
embraced by infinite silence
(generations come into
& pass out of existence)
is it the second coming,
or merely the first,
to which they aspire?
a meditation upon
“the second coming,”
by william butler yeats
amid the redwoods
of humboldt county,
northern california
while on a recent trip
down highway 1
to san Francisco

I just read an article on how to "simulate pinhole photography in photoshop". The result was dark, out of focus, heavily vignetted, contrasty, and black&white. In my search for counter-examples, it was great discovering your image which is counter to almost all the points/steps of this dumb article.

Simply stunning. Really like the way your pinhole camera captured the grander of the giant redwood trees.
